Eminent Malian guitarist Vieux Farka Touré released his new album ‘Les Racines’ through World Circuit. Touré is known as the ‘Hendrix of the Sahara’ and the son of the late ‘Desert Blues’ pioneer Ali Farka Touré; the album ‘Les Racines’ is Touré’s debut album on the label and his first since 2017. The title, which translates as ‘the roots’, represents a deep reconnection with the Songhai music of Northern Mali known as ‘Desert Blues’, made famous by his father via his own World Circuit releases decades earlier.

Traduction en Français:
Dans mon pays le Mali, l’éducation traditionnelle est très importante pour remplir par la suite ses fonctions d'adultes. Il s'agit ici d’une jeune fille qui ne veut pas suivre cette éducation ancestrale; elle passe tout son temps à vagabonder, elle n'écoute pas les conseils de ses parents et ne fait que des mauvaises fréquentations. Là, on lui demande de revenir dans le rang parce qu'on a des valeurs coutumières à respecter. Tu dois respecter tes parents et toute la communauté pour la conservation de nos valeurs traditionnelles.
English Translation:
In my country of Mali, traditional education is very important to subsequently fulfil one's adult functions. This song is about a young girl who does not want to follow this ancestral education. She spends all her time wandering, she does not listen to the advice of her parents and only keeps bad company. Here we ask her to get back in line because we have customary values to respect. You have to respect your parents and the whole community for the preservation of our traditional values.
