Like father like son: that’s what Vieux Farka Touré must have thought when he picked up a guitar and started making music despite his world-famous father Ali Farka Touré’s objections. He did manage to impress his father though. He made a lot of music together with his son and saw him turn into the desert’s John Lee Hooker.

Vieux Farka Touré does rely a bit more on electric guitar solos than his father ever did, but he is still following in his footsteps with his gorgeous mix of Mali music with Western elements. In the past decade, Vieux Farka Touré released no fewer than seven highly praised albums. Two of these were collaborative efforts with Israeli star Idan Raichel, another with special guests like Dave Matthews.

Fans of his father’s mystical sound would have been pleasantly surprised by Vieux’ latest album “Les Racines”, as this is an extensive tribute to his father’s beloved tradition of Mali blues and the Songhai culture of West-Africa. “Les Racines is the most traditional blues album of Vieux Farka Touré. A tribute to his father and his best work so far”, as De Volkskrant wrote.

A collaboration with Khruangbin resulted in the 2022 album “Ali”, which is another tribute to his father’s music with all-encompassing grooves. The Texan band and Vieux share a love for cosmopolitan sounds and the combination brings a whole new dimension to the works of Vieux. Khruangbin on their part have indicated Vieux is a source of inspiration to them.

With every new project, Vieux has been expanding his horizons, strengthening his reputation as one of the world’s most talented and innovative musicians.
