At the Roskilde Festival in 2005, I was lucky enough to catch a concert by the late great Ali Farka Toure and Toumani Diabate. Their new album is one of the best of 2010!
I also had the honour of briefly meeting Toumani just after he'd completed a breathtaking solo set. The music of angels!
I was kicking myself that my schoolboy French didn't allow me to say more than blabbering Merci! merci! I think he understood that I loved his music.
A wonderful musician and a charming man.
He was polite enough not to comment on the fact that I was wondering around with Kai's cuddly penguin!
These crazy Europeans!
