Ali Farka Touré with Ry Cooder – Talking Timbuktu (Vinyl LP, World Circuit Records, 1994) – Mint/ Sealed

A landmark collaboration that brings together Malian guitar traditions and American blues phrasing in a calm, deeply rooted dialogue. The playing is understated and spacious, with cyclical guitar lines, subtle percussion and a strong sense of rhythmic patience. It’s a quietly powerful album built on shared musical language and mutual restraint.

Vinyl LP Mint and Sealed.
