In 2005, Eric Herman of Modiba expressed interest in producing an album for Tour&233 to do so, he had to acquire permission from Ali. Despite his father’s discouragement and his family’s lineage as a tribe of soldiers, Tour&233 secretly took up the guitar and enrolled in the Institut National des Arts in Bamako, Mali.
Rather, he wanted Vieux to become a soldier. His father disapproved due to the pressures he had experienced being a musician. When Vieux was in his teens, he declared that he also wanted to be a musician. Ali Farka Touré came from a historical tribe of soldiers, and defied his parents in becoming a musician. He is the son of legendary Malian guitar player Ali Farka Touré, who died in 2006. Often referred to as “The Hendrix of the Sahara”, Vieux Farka Touré was born in Niafunké, Mali in 1981.
It has been said that the senior Touré played rough mixes of these songs when people visited him in his final days, at peace with, and proud of, his son’s talent as a musician.In 2005, Eric Herman (still Vieux’s manager today) of Modiba Productions expressed an interest in producing an album for Vieux this led to Vieux’s self-titled debut album, released by World Village in 2007. Ali recorded a couple of tracks with him, and these recordings, which can be heard on Vieux’s debut CD, were amongst his final ones. Ali Farka Touré was weakened with cancer when Vieux announced that he was going to record an album.
That month Vieux also released his first live album, LIVE. The album received a great deal of critical acclaim from across the globe, and Vieux was clearly moving out of his father’s shadow.By June 2010, Vieux was performing at the opening concert for the FIFA World Cup in South Africa. The album features Toumani Diabaté, as well as his late father.On his second record, Fondo on Six Degrees (2009), Vieux branched out and presented his own sound: while remaining true to the roots of his father’s music he uses elements of rock, Latin music, and other African influences. On this first album, Vieux pays homage to his father and follows Ali’s musical tradition, giving new versions of the West African music that is echoed in the American blues.
Translated as ‘My Country,’ this predominantly acoustic undertaking transformed into an artifact of cultural preservation. Being that his native Mali had recently been splintered by territorial fighting between Tuareg and Islamic rebels since January 2012, Mon Pays was devoted to reminding the world about the beauty and culture of his native Mali. With the heralded release of The Secret, Vieux Farka Touré has clearly established himself as one of the world’s rare musical talents and guitar virtuosos with a distinct style that always pays homage to the past while looking towards the future.Vieux released The Tel Aviv Session (Cumbancha) in April 2012, a collaborative project with Israeli superstar Idan Raichel dubbed ‘The Touré-Raichel Collective’ that has been hailed by fans and critics alike as a masterpiece and one of the best collaborative albums in the history of international music, drawing comparisons to Ali Farka Touré and Ry Cooder’s legendary Talking Timbuktu album.In 2013, Vieux Farka Touré’s beautiful and critically acclaimed album Mon Pays was released as an homage to his homeland. The title track is the last collaboration between Vieux and his late father. It was produced by guitarist Eric Krasno (of the Soulive trio) and features South African-born vocalist Dave Matthews, Derek Trucks on electric slide guitar and jazz guitarist John Scofield.
With each new project, Vieux expands his horizons, embraces new challenges and further entrenches his reputation as one of the world’s most talented and innovative musicians.As a passionate champion for the people of Mali and The Sahel, Vieux founded the charity Amahrec Sahel in 2012. The album was hailed by critics as Vieux’s finest, most well-rounded and mature album to date. The album shot to the top of the iTunes World chart and earned critical acclaim, including that of John Schaefer (NPR) who called it “brilliant.” On April 7, 2017, Vieux released his latest album ‘Samba’, recorded live in front of a small audience at Applehead Studio in Woodstock, NY.
Vieux is also the director of The Ali Farka Touré Foundation, an international organization dedicated to the preservation of Ali’s legacy and the cultural growth of Mali.
