The celebrated Malian singer and guitarist Afel Bocoum is one of the last representatives of a pioneering generation of African musicians who were the first to combine their own traditional music with the new sounds that came from all over the world in the course of the 20th century. Bocoum comes from Niafunké in the Timbuktu region of Mali, an area that lies within the cultural riches and political tensions between the northern and southern parts of the country.

He has toured and recorded with desert blues pioneer Ali Farka Touré for decades. In September 2020, he released his latest studio album Lindé on World Circuit Records. Damon Albarn, who served as executive producer of the album alongside Nick Gold from World Circuit, said: Afel's voice is one of Mali's treasures, and this record is a gift to us all.
