Ali Farka Toure Boubacar Traore youTube
This Ali Farka Toure youTube also has Boubacar Traore. The musicians from Mali in Africa have a sound that to some of us sounds like the roots of the blues. Listening and being inspired by musicians of other cultures is a very healthy thing to do., it will help you open up to new ways of exploring the music that is within you waiting to come out. Blues great Ry Cooder recorded recorded a fantastic album with Ali. A lot of the riffs these guys play are very hummable and have a nice bounce in them. This video is well worth a look. This music has an almost trance like feel to it.
