Product DescriptionIn the Heart of the Moon is an inspired collaboration from two of Malian music s most important artists, guitarist Ali Farka Toure and kora player Toumani Diabate. Although they originally planned to duet on just one track, their creativity could not be contained, and a complete album s worth of new material was recorded. There were no rehearsals, and performances were improvised from repertoire familiar to both men. With an electric atmosphere that was almost palpable, the album was recorded in three 2 hour sessions over consecutive days with a mobile studio at the Hotel Mande, on the banks of the Niger River in Bamako, Mali.ReviewA thrilling display of profound musical play from two of Mali's greatest stars. --The Independenta masterpiece. Diabat� can transcend the melodies, spiralling off with flights of intricate fantasy, exploring spaces you thought only existed in the imaginations of the greatest jazz experimentalists. --MojoAbout the ArtistAli Farka Tour�, known internationally as the king of the desert blues, developed his unique guitar style from the Songhai and Peul traditions of his home in Northern Mali. Toumani Diabat�, acknowledged as the finest kora player in the world, is a master of the centuries old Mandinka griot traditions. Together they make a sublime pairing. The recordings also feature subtle contributions from Ry Cooder on kawai piano & ripley guitar, Sekou Kant� and Cacha�to L�pez on bass, Joachim Cooder and Olalekan Babalola on percussion.
