Blind John O'Gunn

Timbuktu, Mali

Blind John O'Gunn is a bluesman from Mali. I found him playing in Timbuktu, with a cardboard message saying: "accepting food, cash or batteries".

In 2010, John was reported dead, but I got a call recently from him, he was just travelling around for the last 3 years.

3 new songs are now available, and they are as raw as one could expect from a man who's got as much talent as the size of his soul.
