Live From Festival Au Desert, Timbuktu [coll] – [Clermont Music]

humana   5/14/2013   CD, International

On the CD sleeve Manny Ansar writes: “The healthy meeting of cultures is the oldest weapon and today the most appropriate in the face of the violence and intolerance that increasingly immerse our world.” This CD records the 2012 Festival Au Desert, which included a potpourri of talented musicians who believe in the power of music as an instrument of peace. War may have come two days after this festival, resulting in the tragic postponement of future festivals, but this CD exists to prove that heartfelt music cannot be silenced.
