Film on Mali legend Ali Farka Touré

A Visit to Ali Farka Touré (video; 57 min.)
Winner of a Grammy Award for the album Talking Timbuktu, on which he played with Ry Cooder and other American luminaries, the legendary African singer and guitarist now invests much of his time, energy and resources in improving agricultural and social conditions in Mali. Film-maker Marc Huraux visited Ali there. Music is an integral part of Ali's life and therefore an integral part of this encounter. Deep, mysterious and utterly compelling, his playing lights up a striking documentary.

Classical TV: performing arts online

The brand new Classical TV site promises streams of "spectacular opera, ballet, and classical music performances" for "arts enthusiasts worldwide." Elsewhere, I've read that there will be jazz and theater, too. Nice.

Currently on tap: La Boheme, "the world's most romantic opera--a complimentary stream of the opening night at the English National Opera available until 2nd March 2009." For some reason, I wasn't able to get this stream streaming. Not even a trickle. But perhaps you'll have better luck. I do intend to return to Classical TV when I can get it cranking just right.
