Malian bluesman Samba Touré is a protégé of the legendary Ali Farka Touré. Touring with Farka Touré, Samba was profoundly influenced and began creating his own style of Songhai Blues. Bursting with energy, this is Samba’s tribute to his mentor and the continuation of a desert blues legacy (worldmusic.net).

The album Albala was released in 2013, at Glitterbeat Records.
