BLACKFIRE has returned from the deserts of Mali, Africa! Read more about it here. We picked the "2 Deserts Tour" theme because we felt such a strong cultural connection to the Toureg people of the Sahara the last time we played at the festival. This year we were invited to play not only at the Essakane festival but at Essouk and other places throughout Mali.

Check out the 2003 Festival in the Desert Live CD!

Featuring "What do you see" along with Robert Plant, Ali Farka Toure', Lojo, Tinariwen and many more. This CD truly captures the magic that was made at the 2003 Festival in the Desert..
