ALI FARKA TOURE - Red Album LP New Zealand The Gotobeds called partners-in-rock-crime ProtomartyrAli Farka Tours 1984 self titled album, commonly referred to as the Red Album. Sometimes bundled up with 1988s similarly dubbed Green Album on previous reissues, it captures the Malian desert blues maestro just before he began to incorporate electrics into his sound and find a more international audience.
