{"product_id":"vieux-farka-toure-khruangbin_ali-vinyle-orange_2026_mdl","title":"Ali - Vinyle Orange","description":"Ali Farka Touré traveled the world, introducing Malian music to everyone. He is nicknamed “the African John Lee Hooker,” and indeed, close ties can be heard between the two. Both used a bluesy playing style with gritty textures that evokes both calm and fury. Touré created a West African blend of “desert blues,” which earned him a Grammy Award and international veneration. Although he passed away in 2006, Ali’s musical legacy lives on through his son, Vieux Farka Touré, aka “the Hendrix of the Sahara,” an accomplished guitarist and a true star of Malian music. On *Ali*, his collaborative album with Khruangbin, Vieux pays tribute to his father by recreating some of his most iconic works, adding new twists that do not detract from the integrity of the originals. The result is a true ode to a legend. *Ali* is not just a compilation of the artist’s greatest hits. It is a lullaby, a memory of Ali’s life through highlights and B-sides from his discography. It is a testament to what happens when creativity is approached with open arms and an open heart. The album was started in 2019, when Khruangbin had just released the groundbreaking *Con Todo el Mundo*, and was completed in 2021 in the midst of a global pandemic. Indirectly, *Ali* captures that period and turns it into a moment of peace in a raging storm, a conversation between past and present that nonetheless does not pledge allegiance to suffering. *Ali* is a masterful work in which the love surrounding it is just as important as the music itself. Vieux Farka Touré and Khruangbin spread the good word to a whole new generation.","brand":"Vieux Farka Toure \u0026 Khruangbin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57040413851992,"sku":null,"price":20260424.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0898\/4943\/0360\/files\/0656605157443.jpg?v=1775682481","url":"https:\/\/vinyles.com\/en\/products\/vieux-farka-toure-khruangbin_ali-vinyle-orange_2026_mdl","provider":"Vinyles.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
