The Source

Toure had long established himself as a recording and performing legend by the time of The Source, but here the Malian guitarist and singer sounded both absolutely at ease and still able to build his reputation higher than it already was. With such standouts as the mesmerizing “Dofana” and the spirited instrumental “Cinquante Six” and the deft participation of regular collaborators and guests, The Source is a striking, resonant listen.
