Vieux Farka Touré

After dazzling sold-out crowds across the UK last year, the mighty Vieux Farka Touré is back — and he’s ready for a party.

A master of the guitar with magnetic stage presence, Vieux carries forward the legacy of his father, desert blues pioneer Ali Farka Touré, while boldly forging a sound all his own.

Since the release of Ali — his acclaimed collaboration with US psych-rock superstars Khruangbin — Vieux’s star has soared, cementing his reputation as one of the most exciting forces in contemporary world music.

Blending the soul of traditional West African music with gritty blues riffs, psychedelic rock energy, and Latin grooves, Vieux’s live shows are a high-octane celebration — a journey that starts in Mali and moves the world.
