Ali Farka Touré Feat. Oumou Sangaré - Cherie (Official Video)

’Voyageur’ is out now on CD, LP or digital: A beautiful new and previously unheard track from the great Malian guitarist and king of the ‘Desert Blues’, Ali Farka Touré. ‘Cherie’ features Malian superstar diva Oumou Sangaré, a close long-time friend of Ali’s. Sangaré features on a total of 3 tracks from the album ‘Voyageur’ out now via World Circuit on CD, LP and digital formats. Of the collaboration, which was recorded in London in 1995 and has never been released until now, Oumou comments: “Ali Farka Touré was not only an important artist, but he was also a humanitarian. He provided me with a lot of support when I started out in music, like a protective big brother, and he was proud of my achievements on African development. Ali and I often used to sing together for Malian audiences, and this session is the only recorded trace of our musical harmony. Sadly, Ali is no longer with us… but I know he would have been very pleased wi
