SOAS
IN ASSOCIATION WITH THE CENTRE OF AFRICAN
STUDIES AT SOAS, FRIENDS OF MALI-UK (www.friendsofmali-uk.org)
INVITES YOU TO A CELEBRATION OF THE LIFE OF ALI FARKA TOURE:
MASTER MUSICIAN AND MAYOR….
Friends of Mali pays
tribute to one of Africa's greatest musicians whose larger-than-life,
charismatic personality was only equalled by his skill and
ingenuity on the guitar.
Ali Farka Toure died on March
7th 2006 at the age of 66. He leaves an unequalled musical
and cultural legacy around the world and more than anyone
else placed Mali's music on the map.
Ali's innovative collaborations,
such as 'Talking Timbuktu' with Ry Cooder, opened up 'World
Music' to those who would not necessarily be aficionados,
and won him two Grammy awards.
