Talking Timbuktu

Ali Farka Touré, Ry Cooder · 1994

Talking Timbuktu is the 1994 collaboration between Malian guitarist Ali Farka Touré and American guitarist and producer Ry Cooder. Its ten tracks provide a meeting place for two musicians whose histories should remain visible even when their instruments suggest a connection. The album's identity begins with both names.
