On Sunday 12th February we welcome Vieux Farka Touré to Southbank Centre. This will be the only London date of Vieux’s UK tour, and is set to be a really exciting show. Following in the footsteps of his father, the legendary Malian guitarist Ali Farka Touré, Vieux’s music combines funk, reggae and jam music with the desert-blues genre.
Living up to his father’s lofty reputation is no mean feat, but Vieux’s latest album The Secret has established him as an important artist in his own right. Often referred to as ‘the Hendrix of the Sahara’, Vieux heads up a new generation of contemporary West African music.
You can buy tickets for Vieux Farka Touré at Queen Elizabeth Hall by visiting our website.
