Dubbed “the Hendrix of the Sahara”, Vieux Farka Toure is one of the hottest talents on the contemporary African music scene.
Son of the late maestro and two-time Grammy Award-winner Ali Farka Toure, his music heralds a new generation of Malian desert blues. A highly gifted guitarist, singer, songwriter and percussionist, Vieux has reinvented the fusion music his father created—bringing funk, reggae, and jam music to the desert-blues genre and carrying this new sound worldwide.
"Tearing off screeds of glittering, almost orientally flavoured guitar, the 28 year old...takes the desert blues sound in a more rocking, contemporary direction" **** Daily Telegraph
