Ali & Toumani

This album is the successor to the GRAMMY AWAR D winning ‘In the Heart of the Moon’ which was also described by MO JO as “the most beautiful music on earth”.

This new album was the last to be recorded by both Ali Farka Touré and Toumani Diabate, prior to Ali’s sad passing.

Recorded over three afternoons at Livingston Studios, London, in 2005 - with contributions from Orlando ‘Cachaíto’ López on bass. Produced by Nick Gold and beautifully recorded by Jerry Boys. This fantastically presented album package contains sleeve & song notes by Toumani Diabaté & Nick Gold.

“This is a stronger more refined record than ‘In The Heart...’ We had more time to record, and to listen. After Ali and I had played a few concerts, and spent a lot more time together, the spirits really became entwined. We invested a lot more than on the first album. The spirit was to make a wiser, softer album, an acoustic album that we could savour” -Toumani Diabate.
