Twenty-six-year-old Malian guitarist,
songwriter and singer Vieux
Farka Touré has been described as
“the biggest buzz of the year in world music”
(Toronto Star). The son of iconic guitarist
and world music superstar Ali Farka Touré (who
died in 2006), Vieux defied his father’s wishes
to pursue a musical career—the elder Touré
was so embittered by his experience with the music industry
that he wanted his son to be a soldier instead. The
young guitar virtuoso got his start playing with Toumain
Diabaté, the world’s leading kora
player, and quickly blossomed into a musician of such
staggering talents that his protective father was convinced.
Touré’s first CD, Vieux Farka Touré,
was released to universal acclaim earlier this year,
has topped the world music charts and was called a “remarkable
debut” by Rolling Stone “that mixes
the traditional Mali blues of his father with more modern
rock and reggae notes.”
