As Ali Farka Toure's cousin ( Ali Farka's wife is the sister of her mother) she perpetuates the tradition of the desert and timbuktu music singing in Tamashek ,Songhai , Arabic and Bambara. She will play at the desert festival in Essakane Saturday January 10, 2009. check schedule at http://www.festival-au-desert.org and c u there !
