Vieux Farka Toure will be performing at the Alliance Francaise in Ghana, on December 1, 2012 at 8 p.m.  This Malian singer and guitarist is the son of Grammy award-winning musician, Ali Farka Toure.

His style mixes west African sounds, latin rythms and elements of rock to provide a creatively eclectic genre that is somewhat difficult to define, but beautiful to listen to.

His live performances are highly energized and Vieux is known for dazzling crowds with his speed and dexterity on the guitar, as well as his palpable charisma and luminous smile, both of which captivate audiences from all audiences in spite of any language barriers (although Vieux does speak 8 languages).

“The son of the late Malian guitarist Ali Farka Touré inherited his dad’s dazzlingly fluid phrasing but clearly also digs the fiery African blues rock of bands like Tinariwen. Here, he joins American peers for a crossover set that slays”- Rolling Stone

This is a continuation of his Africa tour which started in Praia, Cape Verde on November 17, 2012.  His next shows will be as follows:
