Ali Farka Toure & Toumani Diabate - Mamadou Boutiquier!

The track "Mamadou Boutiquier" is taken from the fantastic Grammy Award Winner album "In The Heart Of The Moon" (2005) of Ali Farka Toure´ & Toumani Diabate´. Malian guitarist, singer, and songwriter Ali Farka Toure´ could come close to artistic perfection, a feat he accomplishes again with 2005's "In The Heart Of The Moon". A duet with kora master player Toumani Diabate´. "In The Heart Of The Moon" focuses on Malian and Guinean music from the 1950s and '60s with a few originals by Farka Toure´. The subtle and complexly lyrical dialogues between the guitar and the kora (which has a resonant, plunking sound that is surprisingly versatile and expressive) are highly melodic, gently rhythmic, and quite haunting. This is primarily a duo date, and the clean, straightforward production lets the immediate beauty of the music shine through. For its grace, balance, and loveliness, "In The Heart Of The Moon" is one of the finest releases in World Music. The CD is recorded in excellent audio quality. Listen & enjoy it. The pictures are mainly scans from the original CD booklet.
