Vieux Farka Toure February 14, 2012

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
