Album Notes & Community Reviews

This unique international collaboration serves as a direct tribute to Ali Farka Tour茅, the legendary Malian guitarist and father of the lead artist. It brilliantly merges traditional West African Songhai desert blues with the Texan trio's signature laid-back, dub-infused psychedelic funk rock, resulting in exceptionally warm and hypnotic grooves.
