Recorded in 1976, this self-titled album captures Ali Farka Touré at the very dawn of his recording career, working far from the glare of the international spotlight. Pressed in small numbers and circulating quietly for years, it remained largely unknown beyond his home country, yet within its unadorned performances lies the unmistakable spark of an artist on the cusp of greatness. Voice, guitar, and percussion with a directness and intimacy that feel both timeless and deeply personal. Once overlooked, it now stands as a captivating rediscovery, an essential early chapter in a remarkable journey, and a treasured prize for collectors and musical historians alike.

One of the best-known African musicians of all time, the renowned Malian singer and guitarist Ali Farka Toure was one of the pioneers of African desert blues. Born to a noble caste, he was forbidden to play music but wound up representing Mali in the early 1960s on an international contest held in Bulgaria, where he bought his first guitar and was exposed to the music of John Lee Hooker, which became a big influence. This self-titled classic was recorded for Radio Mali in 1977 and captures Toure at his magnificent best, with just his guitar for accompaniment, and an unusual violin on both "Yer Mali Wolo" and "Remobe."
