Is it a uploading problem or is the song cut in the cassette itself ?<br /><br />I was not a great fan of Ali Farka. Until I discovered this tape. Now I think I am able to go on discovering this artist.

(he plays now in Ali's nephew's band Afel Bocoum) The guitarist in this video is named Oumar Touré who also played congas for many years with Farka and who plays now in Samba Touré's band (www.samba-toure.com)<br />The song is one of many version of the Gomni traditional song (Ali Farka composed just a few songs, almost others in all his records are traditionals)philippehttp://www.samba-toure.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7791963494354887351.post-12334294707086978702009-08-26T05:21:37.991-07:002009-08-26T05:21:37.991-07:00Thank you so, so, so, so much for this music.

I fell in love with music because of Ali Farka Toure, I've been listening to his stuff almost nonstop for over a year and I've never heard these cassettes before.

If so, he played more recently on Talking Timbuktu and on Markus James' CDs. Markus will be playing live at WorldFest, Grass Valley, California July 16-19, 2009.

In addition to the CD versions mentioned by ngoni, I've a couple of live versions. Let me know if you'd like to have them. Thanks for the video; footages of young Ali are hard to come by. I've uploaded one from 1980 here: http://www.megavideo.com/?v=PONQHHQB . Check out the related vids.
