I can listen to this song 24/7. Rest in peace Ali Farka Toure. Thank you Vieux Farka Touré for this great cover.

[wildlifegardenssydney]

So great Vieux, your version of your father’s song……so beautiful….he would love it as we do. With you I loved the running pulses of the bass and drums too.

[tobyk]

They did an album with Khruangbin that is absolutely incredible!!👌

[pawpaw__]

Vieux does his father great justice on this. BLESS!!

[deenasammyabdalmoez]

I listened to this song yesterday. And i think i opend a new level in Music. 😯

[AnikaGOldiE]

Sent to me by a friend, listening to it in the middle of the forest in Costa Rica with one headphone on.. forest sounds in other ear.. exquisite .. heart~ calming 🙏🏽 ✨🤍🌿🎶✨

[MementoMori_]

I can appreciate melody, rhythm and beauty. His music adds life to that sentiment.

[esplappertdiekuehle]

Just the first chords of intro remind me soooo strong on ALI F. T. 💖💖💖🤝

[LadyCamilleE]

African blues. It’s makes me consider how music has traveled across the globe. 💗💓✨🌎

[py_a_thon]

Music like this is almost like hearing a sound that existed before the Library of Alexandria burned down.

This is so modern, north african, mediterranean. Etc.

I wonder what Phoenician music sounded like.

As we say in Fulani, so maybe ina jeewto e wuurbe so dono dañaama so Ali arti ma taw ada daara which means if the deseased people could come back to check and see if they got heirs when Ali Farka Touré come he'll find you standing up and he be proud. RIP AFT and more blessings your way brother. Greetings from Senegal 🇸🇳✌️

[engin]

[amristolenchild]

[priscillabird]

Love the sound. Would love a translation!

[CHodgy]

Im hearing you play through the middle of the Earth.

[dawidos]

I wish they did this performance with Khruangbin.

[free]

So poetic, although Malian some of the sounds share similarities with Tuareg music. The guitar, his voice and calabash drumming are so soothing.

[SenorCinema]

sounds like he's used to playing with himself more than he is playing with this band
