So from that comment it appears that you have never heard a ''Rhythm'' section in a Band ???????

Loved his record with Ry Cooder and "The source"—esp. "Dofana", which makes rural modernization sound exciting.

Wiki:
As the first African bluesman to achieve widespread popularity on his home continent, Touré was often known as "the African John Lee Hooker"<5>. Musically, the many superpositions of guitars and rhythms in his music were similar to John Lee Hooker's hypnotic blues style.
hence the nice segue........

Sad that you can't appreciate the artistry of this piece.  As gorgeous as music gets.

I love it when Bill plays this kind of set.  I have several playlists built up of songs that I heard here, so that when Paradise heads in a direction in which I find it hard to follow for a bit, I just listen to my favorites from Radio Paradise.  No complaints.

Oh, and this is one that I've added to a playlist, now.  Lovely, peaceful, happy, danceable; thank you again, Bill.

Nice sound for a Friday evening, sitting here and sipping a glass of white.  Sounds like an intro to a PBS show on gardening.  That's ok, not a slam.

Very coool. What a talent Ali Farka Touré was. Saw his son a few weeks back. I've uploaded a couple of tracks from Vieux Farka Touré's debut album - hopefully they'll make the cut here.

Very nice. "Gomni" also shows up on the Ry Cooder / Toure album Talking Timbuktu. You know, the album with the theme song for BBC's "The World". But you knew that already.

I agree, seems to be stuck in a loop, a bit like getting lost in the woods and seeing the same bear tracks over and over again.

Well, this is a tune from the edge of the Sahara, so the 'sand' simile is appropriate. But the imagery you were aiming for was of a shimmering mirage at dawn, an ephemeral fracture of light turning even an ordinary patch of sand into something utterly sublime.

What exactly are you looking for? This is a really nice piece in the middle of a varied selection of excellent music. Perhaps you should tune in to top 40 !!
