Join Us in supporting UAA Presents: an Evening with Vieux Farka Touré.
Vieux Farka Touré, “The Hendrix of the Sahara”, was born in Niafunké, Mali in 1981. Son of the beloved Malian guitar player Ali Farka Touré, Vieux is prominent in his own right – initially a drummer / calabash player, he secretly began playing guitar in 2001. Since then, Vieux has toured the world & recorded numerous albums to great acclaim, including Les Racines – translated to ‘the roots’ – a return to the desert blues roots of Touré’s father, and Ali on Dead Oceans – reinterpretations of his father’s songs released as a collaboration with Khruangbin.
