'This is how Ali played alone in private. If he played to himself and you happened to be in the room with him, he would touch the guitar very softly. It was beautiful to watch. But when he got into the studio, the volume was upped by 10!! But this time he didn’t do that. '"Ruby" is a Bobo song that Ali had heard in San, a village on the road to his home in Niafunke. It must have been a completely new tune to Toumani. A lot of this repertoire was new to him. 'My 5-year-old daughter Ruby and I were sat on the floor at Ali’s feet for this. Because the kora is such a quiet instrument, you have to be very still when it’s being recorded. Any creak or breath can be heard. We held our breath through much of the song. When it was over I asked “What’s that one called?” And Ali just looked at Ruby and said, “Ruby!”' - from an interview with Nick Gold, the producer of the record "Ali and Toumani" from which this song is taken.
Ali Farka Touré et Toumani Diabaté, que vos âmes reposent en paix. Vous étiez bien plus que de grands musiciens : vous étiez les gardiens de notre culture et les ambassadeurs de notre patrimoine. À travers vos mélodies envoûtantes, vous avez su toucher des millions de cœurs et transcender les frontières. Votre musique était un langage universel, une célébration de la vie et de l'humanité. Vous nous avez offert des moments de grâce et de beauté, des instants où le temps semblait suspendu. Votre héritage vivra à jamais et continuera d'inspirer les générations futures. Que Dieu vous accorde Sa miséricorde infinie et que vous trouviez la paix dans l'au-delà. Nous vous remercions pour votre dévouement et votre générosité. Vous resterez à jamais dans nos cœurs, immortels par l'impact de votre art. Reposez en paix, chers maîtres.
Hearing this for the 1st time. I am stunned by the notes, which conform very much to a raga/ ragam , Reethigoula of South Indian system of music. Proves the universal status of music.
I heard this song when I was 5 ish. My dad got the album for fathers day that year. Its such a beautiful song and it makes me wonder why I haven't heard it for so long
@@emerson_vettel hey Emerson , i can't find the exact song either , i just remember it has French vocal on top of that sample , is it the same one you think of ?
The world seems so troubled at the moment but listening to this, I am at peace. Thank you.

with due respect, this doesnt "conform" with the carnatic music form, would be more appropriate to say its v similar!

@@pochetto66 It definitely reminds me of "Ansumana" by "Susso" and also four tet's album New Energy...but I didn't find a specific sample yet
@@emerson_vettel hey Emerson , i can't find the exact song either , i just remember it has French vocal on top of that sample , is it the same one you think of ?
@@pochetto66 uuuh, i think I was thinking about something instrumental but I'll keep my ears open
@@emerson_vettel yeah mainly instrumental ( electronic ) with that french male vocal part ... I'll try to find it too , see you soon
