“Asco,” from Ali Farka Touré’s Niafunké (1999), blends traditional Songhai music with the spirit of the blues. Recorded in his home village, the track reflects Touré’s deep connection to Malian culture and landscapes. Through fluid guitar lines and understated vocals, 'Asco' evokes the vastness of northern Mali and stands as a timeless example of desert blues. 🎧 Listen to 'Asco' wherever you stream music and let the desert breathe through your speakers. | Ali Farka Touré
