Vieux Farka Touré has firmly cemented his name and star power alongside his esteemed father Ali Farka Touré, both in songwriting and masterful guitarwork: oscillating artfully between Malian Folk, with the unique instrumentation and style of Songhai’s deep musical tradition and the Desert Blues, which first made the Farka Touré name legend.
With six solo albums, including the critically acclaimed Mon Pays, Farka Touré’s recent dual-release of Ali – a collaboration with Khruangbin, and Les Racines – a mature, traditionalist’s record said to be ‘outstanding’ by The Guardian – have propelled him to fame.
The artists’ portion of the proceeds from the concert will be donated to Medical Aid For Palestinians & the European Legal Support Center.
