    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.

    He is not the Hendrix of the Sahara; he is simply the one and only Vieux of the Sahara!

    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.
