Journey through Africa with revisited desert blues masters Ali Farka Toure, Tinariwen, Fatoumata Diawara, Rokia Traore and many more.

This organic house and ethno house mix came together as a tribute to some of my favourite musical and spiritual desert blues masters.

I named it Africafé as a symbol of its afro influence as well as the mood uplifting feel it will leave you with. A careful selection of ethno and organic edits allowed to also give a modern feel to this organic house & desert blues mix.

The picture was generated after numerous iterations and perfections through Midjourney. The intent was to portrait a smiling Tuareg man holding a guitar with the Sahara desert and a starry sky in the background.

The desert represents the roots of where this music comes from and the moving universe is to symbolise the universality of music. It moves and moves us with it, regardless of geographical, cultural and social boundaries. We are all one.

Enjoy
