Vieux Farka Touré (Mali)

Building on the legacy of his late father Ali Farka Touré, the precociously talented guitarist Vieux Farka Touré adds elements of wildness and exploration to the potent roots music of West Africa. Known as ‘The Hendrix of the Sahara’, his guitar work represents a mighty bridge connecting American and African blues music and culture.
