Ali (LP)
Vieux Farka Touré , Khruangbin
Amoeba Review
When heavy-hitters like Vieux Farka Touré and Khruangbin team up, it’s no surprise the result is a winning collaboration. On Ali, the Malian singer and guitarist Touré and Texan trio Khruangbin pay homage to Touré’s legendary father, Ali Farka Touré, one of the progenitors of the worldwide musical phenomenon known as desert blues. Together, the artists rework some of the elder Touré’s classic songs, taking them in exciting new directions while infusing them with a love for the art form, for a father, for a new musical friendship. As you’d expect, this is an album that just emanates good vibes, and is imbued with the vibrancy of each act’s distinctive creative style.
