Ali Farka Touré is well known as one of the most influential and talented guitarists that Africa has ever produced. His legacy and impact are hard to overstate: Ali's sound merged his much-loved traditional Malian musical styles with distinct elements of the blues, resulting in the creation of a ground-breaking new genre, now well known as the 'Desert Blues', earning him 3 Grammy awards and widespread reverence.

'Voyageur' is the first release of previously unheard music since 2010's Grammy-winning 'Ali & Toumani', and features a collection of previously unheard gems captured at various points in Ali's illustrious career. The album, which features fellow Malian superstar Oumou Sangaré on 3 tracks, reaffirms Ali's status as a globally revered legend of African music.
