Double virgin vinyl and packaged in a gatefold jacket with metallic gold ink and Download. Acclaimed Malian musician Sidi Toure returns with his fourth album, Toubalbero. Named after the large traditional drum used to gather people in the Malian region of Gao, Toubalbero is a danceable, dynamic, and despite the region’s significant political challenges, joyous album. Toubalbero is the first album by the acclaimed Songha? legend to be recorded with electric guitar and bass - the groove is irresistible! Toubalbero was recorded in Mali’s legendary Studio Bogolan where Ali Farka Tour?, Toumani Diabate, and Bj?rk have recorded. The album was then mixed live by Jason Meagher at Black Dirt Studio (Steve Gunn, Black Twig Pickers, Jack Rose). Sidi Tour?’s Toubalbero is an exuberant and irresistible call out for unity and peace for Malians and Africans. Much like the drum that gathers folks in Goa, this album’s aim is to unite through joyous expression for the greater good of all. Unity is strength and joy is unstoppable.
