Sidi Toure Offers New Song, Announces Dates For North American Tour

Sidi Touré heads out on a North American tour to support his new record, Koïma, which came out earlier this year. Touré is crazy good. His music is often referred to as “African blues” which is funny. Doesn’t a big hunk of what blues IS come straight from Africa? For that matter so does the ultimate origin of country music (the banjo is an African instrument kids).

His first record, Sahel Folk, came out in the fall of 2011 and Touré toured then as well. This time he is heading out on an even longer jaunt that will see stops at the Montreal Jazz Festival, a World Café appearance and an on-air performance at KEXP.

Check out a new track below. If you do not like it. Accept that you have no soul and no taste. Seriously. I am not kidding.
