Since his childhood, Vieux Farka Touré has been deeply inspired by the music of his legendary two-time Grammy Award-winning father, Ali Farka Touré. Growing up in Mali’s capital, Bamako and his father’s hometown of Niafunké in the Sahara -- both teeming with rich musical life -- Vieux developed remarkable talents as a drummer and calabash player. After defying his father's wishes that he not pursue a life of hardship as a musician, Vieux was taken under the wing of the world's premier kora player Toumani Diabate; and the jaw-dropping debut album which soon followed includes some of Ali's final recordings.
