Festival in the Desert DVD
(World Village/Harmonia Mundi)

C: A full-length documentary about the best music festival in the world—out in the Sub-Saharan dunes in Mali, near Timbuktu.  Besides the nomads, the only people there are people who’ve made a real effort to be there.

D: Look at those robes!  The greens and blues really pop.

C: Tinariwen are possibly the greatest guitar band on the planet.  Plus Ali Farka Toure is here…

D: [definitively] This is what people are supposed to do—sit around fires and talk and make music. 09/01/04
