Glitterbeat presents Samba Toure - Binga.
The legendary Malian singer/guitarist returns with his most personal and immersive album to date.

Intimately recorded with a small band, “Binga” dives deep into Samba’s Songhoy roots.Moody Sahelian atmospheres. Cautionary tales. Hopes for better days.

“A minimal Malian blues affair from the most prominent of Ali Farka Touré’s musical heirs … Binga finds him in starkly acoustic mode, his guitar accompanied only by ngoni, voices and sparse percussion. It suits him; the best moments of his previous works were those in which he drifted into the dark blue spaces of the Sahel, and Binga plants its feet firmly in those sands.”
