The unmistakable blues guitar sounds of the Saharan desert were seemingly extinguished upon the death of Ali Farka Toure in March 2006. However, Ali's son, Vieux Farka Toure, has revived his musical legacy for future generations. Vieux's blues guitar stylings are accented with bass guitar, flute, djembe drum, calabash, n'goni, sax, and kora. The vocals are equally varied, but the contemplative and evocative instrumentation rounds out the entire musical package. English and French lyrics are included.  03/01/07 >> go there
