Toure and the MP3 are gone.
Much was made of Ali Farka Toure being a like a "missing link" between African music and American blues. And I suppose that's a good marketing angle. But anyone who's listened to the Malian's music knows that it isn't a mere musicologist's novelty. There's a deep beauty and truth in Toure's music that trancends genres. Ali Farka Toure died yesterday. He was 67.
It’s great to see good information being shared and also to see fresh, creative ideas that have never been done before.
