Khruangbin Ali Vinyl LP

The Khruangbin - Ali vinyl LP is the collaborative studio album between Khruangbin and Vieux Farka Touré that reinterprets songs associated with Grammy-winning Malian guitarist Ali Farka Touré. Finished in 2021, this vinyl release presents a cohesive tribute that preserves melodic integrity while introducing contemporary arrangements.

If you struggle to find vinyl releases that balance archival respect with fresh interpretation, this LP helps by offering artist-approved reinterpretations that retain original song structures while adding Khruangbin's rhythmic textures and Vieux's guitar phrasing for clearer instrumental separation.

• Collaborative studio album completed in 2021 by Khruangbin and Vieux Farka Touré
• Reinterprets both well-known tracks and B-sides from Ali Farka Touré's catalog
• Combines desert blues heritage with Khruangbin psych-soul arrangements for distinct tonal clarity
• Issued in vinyl LP format for analogue playback on standard turntables

Compared to conventional reissues, Ali focuses on creative reinterpretation rather than simple remastering. Unlike a straight greatest-hits compilation, this project reshapes selections into new arrangements while preserving the songs' core identity. Recommended by the collaborating artists and intended for collectors and new listeners seeking a documented, artist-approved tribute to Ali Farka Touré.
