Ali's vision opens even further to include a full backing band and further forays into the electric guitar. Taj Mahal, Rory Mcleod and Nitin Sawhney (who contributes tabla on "Inchana Massina") weave into Ali's dense musical tapestry while his philosophical and spiritual perceptions are enhanced by his protégé Afel Bocoum's gentle narration.
The Source has been stunningly remixed and remastered from the original analogue master tapes. It is a brilliant collection of songs from the father of the desert blues on blistering form with his home town group from Mali.
