Ali Farka Touré and Toumani Diabaté
"Recording In The Heart Of The Moon was a unique experience for Ali Farka Touré and Toumani Diabaté. "It will stay with me forever," said Ali late last year. "That was the essence of this music, this complementary nature. There is no competition between us, no hate, no jealousy. You cannot be jealous of God and of what He gives.”

Ali Farka Touré
The world mourned the passing of a musical legend on March 7th, 2006, when Ali Farka Touré died of bone cancer. The charming and thoughtful guitar player introduced the world to Malian music. He was a staunch traditionalist, and paved the way for other Malian musicians to retain their musical roots.
