        Ive always been a fan of the west african blues since the Ry Cooder Ali Farka Toure record.
        Ive seen Tinawaren a few times ,Tamikrest,bombino etc.
        Any chance Brian might be able to do a lesson?
        it sounds easy till you try to play it ,the phrasing can be quite deceptive

          I second this, the blues comes from West Africa
