ALI FARKA TOURE
with AMADOU CISSE, MAMAYE KOUYATE, RORY McLEOD,
SEAN KEAN & KEVIN CONNEFF, STEVE WILLIAMSONOne of the most internationally successful West African musicians of the '90s, Ali Farka Touré
was described as "the African John Lee Hooker" so many times that it probably began
to grate on both Touré's and Hooker's nerves. There is a lot of truth to the comparison, however,
and it isn't exactly an insult. The guitarist, who also played other instruments such as calabash and bongos,
shared with Hooker (and similar American bluesmen like Lightnin' Hopkins) a predilection
for low-pitched vocals and midtempo, foot-stomping rhythms, often playing with minimal accompaniment
