CDDocumentary, produced weekly for three public radio stations, is a tribute to an album we feel essential to the station's music library.A collaboration between the finest two guitar players that Mali and the US have to offer. Though neither Toure nor Ry Cooder spoke the other's language, the recording proves that some sort of deeper, more fundamental communication was going on. TALKING TIMBUKTU was originally released on March 29th, 1994, and holds the distinction of being the longest-running #1 album in the history of Billboard Magazine's world music charts.
