Den maliske guitarist og sanger Samba Touré begyndte karrieren i et soukous-band, men spillede snart sammen med en af Malis største musikere – den nu afdøde Ali Farka Touré. Siden har Samba Touré samarbejdet med artister som Oumou Sangaré og Toumani Diabaté og udgivet en række anmelderroste album, hvor han med sin stemme og guitar udforsker hjemlandets ørken-blues gennem varme og hypnotiske kompositioner.
