Disparition of a great African musician

Ali Farka Touré died today. He was one of the best musicians of Africa and gained international reputation following his Grammy Award in 1994 for Talking Timbuctu with Ry Cooder. If you like blues or are interested in new sounds, listen to Touré. You can also try Mali to Memphis, a great album contrasting African music with American blues.
