An essential member of Ali Farka Toure's band for more than three decades, Afel Bocoum took his first steps into the limelight with his debut solo album, Alkibar: Messenger of the Great River, in 1999.

It was recorded along the banks of the Niger River, during a five-day break from working on Toure's album Niafunke.
