Vieux Farka Toure

Vieux Farka Toure

Having a famous dad can be more of a curse that a blessing. But for Vieux Farka Touré, the son of the great Malian guitarist Ali Farka Touré, he has already stepped out from his late father’s shadow. Ali Farka Touré proved – in case anyone ever doubted it – that the soul of the blues could be found in West Africa. Vieux is turning heads with more radical ideas: that those western Saharan roots can be heard in everything from the jam band scene to Jamaican dub.
