"Ali" is a collaborative studio album by Malian singer and guitarist Vieux Farka Touré and the Texan trio Khruangbin. Released on September 23, 2022, through Dead Oceans, the album features covers of songs by Vieux's father, the legendary Malian guitarist Ali Farka Touré.
Seeking to honor his late father, who passed away in 2006, Vieux Farka Touré was in search of musicians to collaborate with on this tribute album. His manager suggested the Houston-based trio Khruangbin. Vieux met them at a pub in London and, after attending their concert at the Roundhouse in 2018, was impressed by their live performance and decided to collaborate with them. The album was recorded over a week in June 2019 at Khruangbin's barn in Burton, Texas. The song selection was curated by Ali's 11 children. The project was delayed by the COVID-19 pandemic and finalized in 2021.
