VIEUX FARKA TOURE: And here's the proof that they pass on the family business in the desert.  Ali Farka Toure's son picks up the desert blues torch, adds his own elements but basically shows he learned his lessons well eating breakfast with the master every morning.  His debut features the final recordings of his late father and the torch is passed even though pop originally tried to discourage fille from going in to the family business.  With a little bit of tradition meeting the future, Toure opens the door on a career that feels like it will be as satisfying as his pop's.  World beaters, start your engines.  01/09/07
