Sidi Toure (Songhai blues from Mali) & Cedric Watson (Louisiana Creole fiddle & accordion): International Blues Explosion

"A worthy successor to Ali Farka Toure. Sidi Toure has all the talent. It's incredible." - Bassekou Kouyate

"To propel the Louisiana culture into the future seems to be quite a task, but if one lives for the music as Cedric does, the path seems effortless. These songs may well be early brushstrokes of a life's worth of possibilities, not only for himself, but also for the identity survival of a culture." - Michael Doucet
