This week marks the 23rd album anniversary of Ali Farka Touré’s ‘Niafunké’. "It was recorded in the place where the music belongs – deep Mali. We were in the middle of the landscape which inspired the music and that in turn inspired myself and the musicians. My music is about where I come from and our way of life." - Ali Farka Touré Listen here: https://WorldCircuit.lnk.to/AFTNiafunkeID #AliFarkaToure #niafunke #Mali #23yrsold #musicquotes #album #inspiration | Ali Farka Touré

Afel Bocoum became a member of Ali Farka Touré's band when he was just a teenager. The two musicians worked together on 'Savane'. He began his career as a member of Ali Farka Touré's group ASCO, and Touré is often regarded as his mentor. Both men come from the town of Niafunke on the River Niger, and are members of the Sonrai people. | Ali Farka Touré

“Asco,” from Ali Farka Touré’s Niafunké (1999), blends traditional Songhai music with the spirit of the blues. Recorded in his home village, the track reflects Touré’s deep connection to Malian culture and landscapes. Through fluid guitar lines and understated vocals, 'Asco' evokes the vastness of northern Mali and stands as a timeless example of desert blues. 🎧 Listen to 'Asco' wherever you stream music and let the desert breathe through your speakers. | Ali Farka Touré

Ali Farka Touré Official on Instagram: "This song is the closing track on Ali's 1999 record Niafunké. It's named after P. W. Botha, the last prime minister and first president of South Africa during apartheid in the 1980s. Ali's version of this song rebukes the hatred and forces of oppression flourishing in South Africa at the time. It's believed to be inspired by a performance by compatriot Khaira Arby in 1986 at the Mali Cultural and Artistic Biennial in Timbuktu."
