No. I'm not hip to his take as far as any statements or interviews are concerned. As far as his music is concerned, here is a taste. Great musician from Mali!Anything related to Ali Farke Toure's take on the african/african american connection? FYI...
There has also been an criticism raised (via one poster) that the rest of us only associate the rise of african civilization with North Africans aka the lands of the Black Pharoahs:
Considering the legacy of the Dogon etc. perhaps such folk got it backwards, i. e., civilization moved from south to north of the Great Sahara?
Just a personal thought!
FYI...
