Vieux Farka Touré
October 24, 2013 @ 7:00 pm – 9:00 pm EDT
With his 2010 World Cup performance before a billion people in Johannesburg, South Africa, Vieux Farka Touré has become one of the most celebrated African guitarists in history. Dubbed the “Hendrix of the Sahara” by critics, Vieux Farka Touré is a guitar master–but he also plays the African kora, a combination drum and string instrument, and several other traditional African instruments. He mixes tradition from his roots in Mali, and inspiration from his father, Grammy-award winning Ali Farka Touré, with American blues and jazz. It’s simply impossible to burden Vieux with old associations. A benefit for the Sanctuary for Independent Media.
