music for monday: The Touré-Raichel Collective - Le Niger

Led by Malian singer and guitarist, Vieux Farka Touré and Israeli singer and pianist, Idan Raichel, the Touré-Raichel Collective's first album, The Tel Aviv Session is one of the best albums I've heard in awhile. The original recording was made during a 3 hour improvised session. It will transport you with its culturally influenced Malian rhythms and Israeli melodies. Check out this state-side performance of Touré and Raichel. Enjoy!

 this album is worth every penny
