Following on from our recent Tinariwen post, we’ve put together another Mali mix. This one is a response to a recent BBC World article highlighting further trouble in the North. Banning music is a cultural crime beyond understanding. In a region where it so thrived it is now a punishable offence. Here are some tunes as a reminder of Mali’s rich musical heritage. Many are performed on the Kora, a beautifully sounding 21-string harp from West-Africa.The Scorsese documentary Feel Like Going Home is well worth a watch for a glimpse of how the late, great Ali Farka Toure lived.
