Radio Mali News Today : Breaking News, Live Updates & Top Stories | Vimarsana

We will begin the show today with a new album by World Circuit featuring previously unreleased tracks by the incomparable Ali Farka Touré. Ali Farka Touré was almost unique among Malian musicians in the enormous breadth of his knowledge of Malian music. Despite being from the small town of Niafunké in northern Mali, his peripatetic life as a young man, working as a itinerant musician, a river ambulance pilot, a driver, and later working for Radio Mali, led him to familiarity with all of Mali and some of its neighbours. Farka Touré would absorb the music wherever he visited, often playing his interpretations of the local songs he learned during the day back to his hosts in the evening. Farka Touré sang in five languages. His growing international fame in the 80 s led to many international visits, but his music and soul were rooted in Mali and he stopped travelling outside of Mali by the late 90 s. This aptly titled release "Voyageur" showcases the wide range of Farka Tour
