Montreal Mirror, CD Review >>
You can be forgiven for missing the 2OO3 edition of Festival au Desert now three years old, the fest happens deep in Tuareg territory, in Saharan Mali. Led Zep's Robert Plant made it, though (his psychedelic blues jam "Will My Train Fare Home" is just one highlight here), as did Malian superstars Oumou Sangareand Ali Farka Toure, Navajo rockers Blackfire, French world-folkers Lo'Jo and no end of Arabic and African talent. The live recordings are of superior quality and superbly blended, but more importantly, this is one of the coolest music events in the world which you'll probably never see/hear firsthand, so grab this or hold out for the forthcoming DVD. 08/10/03
