Synopsis
Follows famous guitarist Ali Farka Toure as he guides us through Mali, bringing us the richness and traditions of his culture and sharing his feelings for his hometown, where he's still a farmer. Toure reminisces about how he first learnt to play music, early concerts abroad and his excitement at buying his first ever guitar. Including footage from past concerts and informal improvisations with friends, the film shows that his music is so much a part of him that even when he's just talking, he's effortlessly strumming away.
