Excerpt: Ali Ibrahim ¿Farkä Touré (October 31, 1939 ¿ March 7, 2006) was a Malian singer and guitarist, and one of the African continent¿s most internationally renowned musicians. His music is widely regarded as representing a point of intersection of traditional Malian music and its North American cousin, the blues.
