Marking 20 years since the passing of legendary Malian guitarist Ali Farka Touré, his former bandmate and protégé Samba Touré returns to celebrate the music that shaped his life. After touring the world alongside Ali as a guitarist and backing vocalist, Samba went on to forge his own acclaimed career while carrying forward the spirit of Malian desert blues. This special concert honours his mentor with a powerful selection of beloved classics and lesser-known gems, reimagined in Samba's own distinctive style. This is a heartfelt celebration of an enduring musical legacy – keeping Ali Farka Touré's songs alive through the joy, power and connection of live performance.

"Samba may have started out playing alongside his mentor, the legendary Ali Farka Touré, but has gone to create his own style of desert blues."
