Ali Farka Toure - Red Green

Review by Barbie

The album Red Green by Ali Farka Toure is a unique blend of African blues and traditional Malian music. The album features Toure's signature guitar playing and soulful vocals, along with a variety of African percussion instruments and backing vocals.

The album opens with the upbeat track "Red & Green", which sets the tone for the rest of the album. Toure's guitar playing is particularly impressive on this track, and the percussion adds a lively energy to the song. "Soko Yhinka" is another standout track, with Toure's vocals soaring over a simple guitar riff and handclaps.

One of the highlights of the album is "Goye Kur", a haunting instrumental track that showcases Toure's guitar skills. The track builds slowly, with layers of percussion and guitar building up to a powerful climax.
