Live Tonight on Millennium Stage: Often referred to as “The Hendrix of the Sahara,” Vieux Farka Touré was born in Niafunké, Mali in 1981. He is the son of Ali Farka Touré, a legendary Malian guitar player who died in 2006. Ali Farka Touré came from a historical tribe of soldiers and defied his parents in becoming a musician. When Vieux was in his teens, he declared that he also wanted to be a musician. His father disapproved due to the pressures he had experienced being a musician; his father wanted Vieux to instead become a soldier. With help from family friend the kora maestro Toumani Diabaté, Vieux eventually convinced his father to give him his blessing to become a musician shortly before Ali passed.
Vieux and band absolutely shredded at the Grey Eagle in Asheville on 5/6. Lively crowd in a small space, family on stage, etc. Truly a transcendent and spiritual experience.
Saw him with his excellent basist and drummer yesterday, evening, playing in a forest in Sweden. It was magical.
What an honor to watch this live. Living legend
He is not the Hendrix of the Sahara; he is simply the one and only Vieux of the Sahara!

Such a great concert! Did anyone get the setlist? There were some songs I couldn’t identify…
How do I learn to play like this? Is he in a different key?
F#?
I just love this sound and would love to learn this style of playing
Done easy again my brother.
What is the name of the second song?
Vieux Farka Touré “Fafa”
Far Out!
Thia is going to sound so bad. But, where are all the Black people ? I see only older white people? Maybe junor should perform at Howard theatre to capture is cousins. This was Marley big disappontmant.
Just becouse the old people care the style of music that resumbles the slow blues music it is not a disco or techn music
Great musicians. Love it. I’m looking forward to hear you live in November 2023 | musichall Worpswede 🎶🎸🫶
