Ali (Vieux Farka Touré album)Ali (Vieux Farka Touré et Khruangbin album) – This is a collaboration album where both artists get equal billing, no doubt about that, and the title of this article should reflect that. The question is how the disambiguator should be styled. Initially I thought this would be a straight choice of Ali (Vieux Farka Touré and Khruangbin album), nothing to decide. But the credit on the album cover is to the French "Vieux Farka Touré et Khruangbin", and this is followed in the Hung Medien charts and a couple of the album reviews. Other reviews credit "Vieux Farka Touré and Khruangbin" or "Vieux Farka Touré & Khruangbin" (although the ampersand would not be allowed in the disambiguator title), and just to confuse things, AllMusic credits this record to "Khruangbin/Vieux Farka Touré".

Since Ali (Vieux Farka Touré and Khruangbin album) already exists as a redirect, I wonder if the simplest answer would be to change that redirect target and have both that redirect and this page redirect to Ali (Vieux Farka Touré et Khruangbin album) which would cover all bases. But there is an argument that the disambiguator should not contain foreign words and that the French title should be the redirect instead, per WP:RFOREIGN.
