He was born in the small town of Niafunk\u00e9 on the banks of the river Niger\u2014the same place his father Ali Farka Tour\u00e9, winner of three Grammy awards, lived and composed his songs. Fortunately, &#8220;young Farka Tour\u00e9&#8221; didn\u00b4t follow the advice of his father not to start an unstable musician\u00b4s career. His first solo album was released in 2007 and it contained several recordings with his late father, but after this start Vieux Farka Tour\u00e9 tried to find his own way. Many collaborations with international musicians not connected directly to Africa \u2013 for example\u00a0 Erik Krasno, Dave Matthews and John Scofield on the album The Secret, two recording sessions with Israeli musician Idan Raichel as Tour\u00e9-Raichel Collective or album Touristes, recorded together with the American singer-songwriter Julia Easterlin \u2013 were parts of his searching. Then there came a\u00a0five-year gap, which includes the recent &#8220;Covid years,&#8221; after his next album, Samba. The brand new album titled <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Les Racines<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (Roots) was released in June 2022 on the World Circuit label, the same one which made his father\u00b4s music famous. Vieux Farka Tour\u00e9 is coming back to his (and his father&#8217;s) powerful musical roots after all these years exploring. Hopefully the visitors to our festival will enjoy the live version of this fresh release performed by the trio led by Vieux Farka Tour\u00e9.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Recommended\u00a0 albums:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Secret (Six Degrees Records, 2011)<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mon Pays (Six Degrees Records, 2013)<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Vieux Farka Tour\u00e9 &amp; Julia Easterlin \u2013 Touristes (Six Degrees Records, 2015)<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Samba (Six Degrees Records, 2017)<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/album\/0oy57krNm60G2LLlyE2V7J\">Les Racines (World Circuit, 2022)<\/a>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Band members:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Vieux Farka Tour\u00e9 &#8211; guitar, vocals<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Marshall Henry &#8211; bass<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Adama Kone &#8211; drums, calabash drum<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Vieux Farka Tour\u00e9 is a guitarist, composer and singer from Mali, the son of a very famous father.
