Rolling Stone reports the first episode follows Plant on his travels as he crosses the Malian terrain. "It was a journey of revelation � one of the most illuminating and humbling experiences of my life," explains Plant.

"[The trip] took us from the scurry and bustle of our world into the homeland of the Tuareg, the Sahel of Mali, Timbuctoo, and north to Essakane. A journey that could only reinforce the power and the great gift of music across and between cultures. . . sharing outside of language."
