1999

Amazon.com editorial review
That Afel Bocoum is the protege of Ali Farka Toure is apparent as soon as you hear his guitar work--there's the same fluidity and muscle in his lines and a very similar raw, bluesy feel to the playing. But, unlike Toure, that's the only place you'll find something that sounds like the blues. Bocoum's music is far more African than that of his mentor, full of unison singing or call and response between his voice and a female chorus. While Alkibar might be less immediately accessible to Western ears, it's still a powerful record. Bocoum has depth in his voice and resonance in his writing, which appears completely timeless, the slave to no fashion--African or Western--at all. Toure has obviously chosen his successor well.
