Daby Touré & Skip McDonald

As soon as they met, they knew each other. Daby Touré: a thirty-something musician raised in Mauritania, West Africa, currently a leading light on the Paris, France scene. Skip McDonald (a.k.a Little Axe): an old school African American bluesman from Dayton, Ohio, long time resident of London, England. And having met and jammed one summer's night at Real World Records studio they kept on meeting and jamming at festivals around the world. For both men this was more than mere coincidence. "We just had this immediate musical connection," says McDonald, eyes twinkling. "In the way our instruments and voices combined. In the things we sing about and the emotions we put into our songs. To meet a brother like this..." He shakes his head. "It's a rare, rare thing." Read more on Last.fm.
