Old Farka Touré reconnects with “The Roots” of Malian blues


Old Farka Touré in concert for the youth in Dakar.

He has made a name for himself on the world stage. Vieux Farka Touré, the son of Ali Farka Touré, has just released his sixth solo album, Roots. For this first record for five years, no external collaborations. For Vieux Farka Touré, the most eminent of Malian guitarists, this time it is a question of sublimating the heritage of his father. Successful bet for “the Jimi Hendrix of the Sahara”.
