Nordlys Global Voices: Vieux Farka Touré

Often referred to as “The Hendrix of the Sahara,” Vieux Farka Touré is a Malian singer-songwriter whose music brings new life into the West African musical tradition. Following in the footsteps of his father, the legendary Malian performer Ali Farka Touré, Vieux has performed on stages spanning the globe sharing a style of music that is echoed in the American Blues. He is also an activist and the founder of the charity Amahrec Sahel, which supports humanitarian reconstruction and the preservation of culture.

This series provides cross-cultural understanding and enrichment through the universal language of music. This concert is made possible by the generous support of the Nordlys Foundation.
