One Response to “Sidi Touré”

   I viewed with interest your doc on Sidi Touré who has been alng time friend for over a decade.. Unfortunatley Sidi’s complaint is true for many good musicians whether in Africa or elsewhere. ( I myself have bnever gotten a cent for an album I frecorded for ESP over 30 years ago and which is still selling on intertnet!) However in my view, Sidi has other more intersting things to say about life and music, view that are more stimulating than just complaining about how he got ripped off by the record producer over 10 years ago. As long I I have kniow Sidi, he has been complaining iabout this raw record dea, and I thibnk it is time for him to move on. I have filmed with him many times and recorded his songs, in 2003we travelled to his home town of Gao where he introduced me to several other top musicians with whom he has evolved. They haven’tgotten their just due from the system either… Sidi and I have done preliminary work on a feature doc projectr about traditionla music along the Niger River, project still in search of production funding. Perhaos one day the film will get made and he willreceive some of the attention he dweeserves.
