Crowned the Jimi Hendrix of the Sahara—and with good reason—Vieux Farka Touré amazes with his breathtaking mastery of the guitar. Between acoustic songs with visceral sounds and electrified numbers with hypnotic grooves, the son of legendary Malian guitarist Ali Farka Touré perfectly illustrates that the fruit doesn’t fall far from the tree. Surrounded by his musicians on stage, Vieux Farka Touré will amaze you with excellently crafted African blues. All killer, no filler.
