Vieux Farka Toure

As the son of the uncrowned king of Mali blues, Ali Farka Touré, guitarist Vieux Farka Touré is certainly no stranger to it. Having debuted with an album full of unadulterated 21st century desert blues, Vieux Farka Touré silences all criticism. Initially, Ali did not want his son to embark on a music career and, of course, there are the never-ending comparisons and questions. However, Vieux persevered, reconciled with his father and overwhelmed everyone with his debut album "Vieux Farka Touré". In his various records and collaborations (including with Amadou & Khruangbin), he enriches his father's Maliblues with influences from reggae, funk, rock and R&B. On 22 May, Vieux Farka Touré returns to our stage for a show at our OZ hall!
