More quotes by Ali Farka Touré

In what you call the blues, I have heard people singing of their hardships.

My music is an education, a history, a legend, an autobiography--it all tells a valuable story of something true.

Music is not just for amusement. It should be used for spiritual purposes and to educate.

Everyone has a responsibility to the community. As a musician, I have received a gift from God. It is my obligation to share this gift.
