After dazzling sold-out crowds across the UK last year, the mighty Vieux Farka Touré is back — and he’s ready for a party.
A master of the guitar with magnetic stage presence, Vieux carries forward the legacy of his father, desert blues pioneer Ali Farka Touré, while boldly forging a sound all his own.
Since the release of Ali — his acclaimed collaboration with US psych-rock superstars Khruangbin — Vieux’s star has soared, cementing his reputation as one of the most exciting forces in contemporary world music.
Blending the soul of traditional West African music with gritty blues riffs, psychedelic rock energy, and Latin grooves, Vieux’s live shows are a high-octane celebration — a journey that starts in Mali and moves the world.
Earth Cruises donates 10% of profit from all shows to carefully selected causes. This year, Earth Cruises’ charity of choice is Hackney Migrant Centre who provide support for refugees, asylum seekers and other migrants in need through the provision of free advice on immigration, welfare and health.
