RIP Ali Farka Toure
I missed seeing him play, but have loved his music since first hearing it. He was a blues player and a griot and a link to a deep source.

Ali Farka Touré was a giant. There is an online interview here:

More about his focus on farming having left the music behind. “The music was an amusement”
