VA - Rough Guide To Mali (2nd Edtion) (2014)

Mali is a fabled land of musical giants and this Rough Guide features the towering figures of Oumou Sangare, Ali Farka Touré and Basekou Kouyate. However the music of Mali is now under threat as never before. In the words of singer Fatoumata Diawara, "music has always brought hope in Mali. Music has always been strong and spiritual."

Bonus CD: Samba Touré - 'Songhai Blues: Homage to Ali Farka Touré'
