A documentary about the collaboration between Markus James, a white American blues guitarist, and three Malian musicians who have often played with the great Ali Farka Toure.
James first started going to Mali in 1994. Over time he was befriended by the three Malians, Hamma, Hassi and Solo, and they began to work together. The film observes this quartet rehearsing, performing and hanging out, and speaking about what they have been learning from each other. Along the way we are introduced to several of the cultural and musical traditions of Mali.�
