Vieux Farka Toure & Julia Easterlin – Masters Of War

A chance encounter brought together Vieux Farka Toure and Julia Easterlin and a shared curiousity into each other’s traditions has produced the collaboration, “Touristes.” Malian desert blues mixes seamlessly and beautifully with American roots music on many of the tracks, but their cover of Dylan/Odetta’s “Masters Of War,” really stands out. Let’s hope this is just the beginning of a long musical partnership.
