After his area of northern Mali was occupied by jihadists with a violent aversion to music among other things guitarist Garba Toure was forced to flee south to the nation’s capital Bamako.
Their gigs proved so popular as to unite people from opposite sides of the country’s recent catastrophic civil war and defy the totalitarianism and violence of their leaders.
Songhoy Blues are a four-piece guitar band who are not actually related to the great man or even to each other although three of them have the surname Toure and lead guitarist Garba Toure’s dad worked as Ali Farka’s percussionist.
Songhoy Blues are a 4 piece from Mali, they play a style of music known as Desert Blues which judging by tonight’s performance might alternatively be described as upbeat African guitar music with the main intention of getting the party going and everybody dancing and smiling.
