Known as the “Hendrix of the Sahara,” Vieux Farka Touré is a global icon of the desert blues. As the son of the legendary Ali Farka Touré, Vieux has not only carried his father’s torch but expanded the Malian sound into new, psychedelic territories. His guitar work is hypnotic and masterful, blending traditional West African rhythms with the raw power of American blues and rock. On stage, Vieux is a mesmerizing presence, leading his band through trance-like grooves and soaring solos that transport the listener to the heart of Bamako. His performances are a profound celebration of Malian culture and the universal power of the guitar. Expect a soulful, world-class set that bridges the gap between the desert and the city.
