Ali Farka Toure, Ry Cooder - Talking Timbuktu [1994]
2008-05-04 17:10:00 Talking Timbuktu is a groundbreaking record that vividly illustrates the Africa-Blues connection in real time. Ali Farka Toure, one of Mali's leading singer-guitarists, has a trance-like, bluesy style that, although deeply rooted in Malian tradition, bears astonishing similarity to that of John Lee Hooker or even Canned Heat. It's a mono-chordal vamp, with repetitive song lines cut with shards

News: Chocolate lorry goes to Timbuktu
2007-11-30 13:42:00 Two British adventurers are setting off on a journey across Europe to west Africa in a lorry powered by chocolate. Andy Pag, of London, and his co-driver John Grimshaw, of Poole in Dorset, were leaving Mr Grimshaw's home town on a cross channel ferry on Friday. They are travelling in a Ford Iveco Cargo lorry powered by fuel that began life as chocolate, in a bid to raise awareness of green fuels. The 4,500 mile (7250km) trip across the Sahara should take about three weeks. The pair will take a small processing unit with them to convert waste oil products into fuel, which they will then donate to an African charity, along with the lorry. "If we can make it [to Timbuktu] with bio-fuel there's no reason why motorists can't use it on the school run or on their commute to work" said Andy Pag. They are taking 2,000 litres (454 gallons) of bio-diesel made from 4,000kg (8,818lb) of chocolate misshapes, the equivalent of 80,000 chocolate bars, to fuel their adventure. But they will not be...

Redemption In Timbuktu
2007-03-12 07:14:00 For years, I’d thought Timbuktu was just a made-up name for “the ends of the earth.” When I found out it was a real place in Africa, I developed an inexplicable fascination for it. It was in 1986 on a fact-finding trip to West Africa for Missionary Aviation Fellowship that this fascination became an irresistible ...
