Recorded over three afternoons at Livingston Studios, London, in 2005, with contributions from Orlando 'Cachaito' López on bass. Produced by Nick Gold and beautifully recorded by Jerry Boys. This is the successor to the Grammy winning 'In the Heart of the Moon' (2005) and the last album recorded by both Ali Farka Touré and Cachaito López.
Review
"...precious testament of a hugely influential musician who helped reassert the African roots of blues guitar, captured here alongside his country's leading kora virtuoso.." -- The Independant
"Hear this and be thankful two of the brightest jewels in the African crown came together"
-- The Sun *****
"The interaction of Malian kora playing prodigy Diabate and the late great Niger-raised primal blues giant Farke Toure is the sort of material they must play in Heaven" -- Daily Mirror ****
"This is a magnificent and poignant farewell" -- The Guardian *****
(4 stars) Second sublime collaboration between two Mali masters. An African landmark...an album of spellbinding beauty. -- Uncut (Album of the Month), (Neil Spencer), March 2010
(4 stars) The final album by Timbuktu's favourite son finds him in masterful form...the kora solos still dazzle...never less than mesmeric. -- MOJO, (David Hutcheon), March 2010
(5 stars) 'In the Heart of the Moon' was as flawless a record as you could imagine...the follow-up is even better. -- Songlines, (Nigel Williamson), March 2010
(5 stars) The follow-up by Mali's greatest bluesman and his pal is another mesmeric tribute to Ali's legacy. -- Observer Music Monthly, January 2010
Brilliant, beautiful...the conversation between Touré and Diabaté has only deepened, a fluent push-me, pull-you flowing generously between the two.
-- The Observer (CD of the Week), (Kitty Empire), February 14, 2010
