Free Music Notes for Talking Timbuktu
Free Music Review: If you like world music, you'll love this
Hit: 5 Stars
With an excellent group of guest appearances from the likes of Ry Cooder, John Patitucci and Gatemouth Brown, this collection of songs showcase Ali Farka Toure's talent and depth. Although I do not speak or understand any of the languages (and Toure can sing in 11 different tongues), the music itself establishes the emotional foundation that allows Toure's voice to evoke the listeners empathy. The album contains the hypnotic repeating figures of African folk music as well as seminal Delta blues. Well worth the price.Free Music Review: Connection between American Blues and African Music
Hit: 5 Stars
Talking Timbuktu in collaboration with Ry Cooper, definitely connects the music of Africa with the blues music in America. There is a strong connection to blues music and of the Malian music. This is a great CD to listen to. Anyone that is a music enthusiast should get this CD. Listen to it carefully and compare it to Delta blues music. There is that powerful connection that draws the listener to succumb to the guitar and fiddle playing. This is the best CD to come out in 1994.Free Music Review: TERRIFIC MUSIC!!!!!
Hit: 5 Stars
I absolutely LOVE this music! I first heard it in the movie "Unfaithful" and FINALLY tracked it down and found out the song I wanted wasnt even on the movie soundtrack, it was on another CD. I ordered it and figured I would only listen to that one song----WRONG----I love the entire CD! Its great! I think its called "African Jazz", but whatever it is, its sultry, sexy, and I could dance to it all night long. Thank you, thank you, thank you.Free Music Review: A Simply Gorgeous Album

The liner notes tell us that Toure speaks eleven languages and that on this album he sings in Songhai, Bambara, Peul and Tamasheck. And do you know what? It doesn't matter that I don't understand the words. Music is a universal language and the music on this disc is gorgeous! I first bought this album because Ry Cooder is one of the best guitarists on the planet. I've now added Ali Farka Toure to that list. HIGHLY RECOMMENDEDFree Music Review: Love Ali Farka Toure and Salif Keita

I am in love with music from Mali. It is music that touches the soul. The region have deep traditions...Then when you understand the lyrics....then you say God has really blessed them with wisdom. The region has over 700 000 manuscripts and old universities where people from all over came to study in Timbuktu, Djenne...you can find more information on the web at http://www.timbuktufoundation.org
