　　This record is more real, more authentic. It was recorded in the place where the music belongs - deep Mali.

We were in the middle of the landscape which inspired the music and that in turn inspired myself and the musicians. My music is about where I come from and our way of life and it is full of important messages for Africans. In the West perhaps this music is just entertainment and I don't expect people to understand. But I hope some might take the time to listen and learn.
　　
　　Ali Farka Toure
　　
　　
　　This album, Ali Farka Toure's first for five years, was recorded in Niafunke, his village on the banks of the Niger at the edge of the Sahara.
　　
　　Over the last few years Ali felt that his travels abroad were weakening the link between his music and its source. He was losing the inspiration to play and today a concert by the legendary guitarist is rare. Farming has increasingly occupied his formidable energies and, importing water pumps and tractors, he has successfully cultivated large tracts of the unforgiving desert around Niafunke.
　　
　　If Ali was to record again it seemed logical to do so in Niafunke. With Ali at the wheet we drove from Bamako over endless scrub land dotted by tiny villages, transporting a mobile studio, several hundred meters of cable and a generator to deal with the lack of electricity. We found the perfect 'studio' - a crumbling building with high arched corridors and domed chambers, standing alone and abandoned just outside the village like an elaborate folly.
　　
　　Our first days were spent recording the debut album by Ali's protege, Affel Bocoum (see http://www.douban.com/subject_search?search_text=Afel%20Bocoum&cat=1003), while Ali moved urgently between rice fields, village and 'studio'. On the third day, as dark descended and the snakes and mosquitoes came out, Ali arrived, plugged in his guitar and started to play. Over the next few days, as the inspiration took him, he played either alone or nodded to the other musicians to accompany him.
