Description
Often referred to as “The Hendrix of the Sahara”, Vieux Farka Touré is the son of legendary Malian guitar player Ali Farka Touré. Touré has worked with artists such as John Scofield, Dave Matthews and Soulive’s Eric Krasno and performed at the opening concert for the 2010 FIFA World Cup in South Africa. With each new project, Vieux expands his horizons, embraces new challenges and further entrenches his reputation as one of the world’s most talented and innovative musicians. “From album to album, Vieux Farka Touré is one of the most respected guitarists and musicians in the world.” — ICI Musique, CBC “This is the devotional, earthy soul of Mali, channeled through a six-string electric guitar.” — Monolith Cocktail
