‘Hendrix of the Sahara’ Coming to Infinity

28

06/10/2022

8:00 pm - 10:00 pm

Vieux Farka Touré, often referred to as “the Hendrix of the Sahara,” will perform at Infinity Hall Friday, June 10, at 8:00 p.m. He was born in Niafunké, Mali, in 1981, son of legendary Malian guitar player Ali Farka Touré, who died in 2006. His father disapproved of Vieux following him into the music business, but he persevered, first as a drummer, but secretly playing guitar. Ali recorded a couple of tracks with him before his death, and these recordings, which can be heard on Vieux’s debut CD, were amongst Ali’s final ones. For information and tickets, click here.
