Malian bluesman Ali Farka Toure passed the torch to his son Vieux Farka Toure. Vieux, 26, plays guitar, calabash, sings and penned seven of the 10 tracks on his self-titled debut disc. But his guitar work instantly brings to mind the memorable style of his late father. Vieux Farka Toure: 7 p.m. Amoeba, 6400 Sunset Blvd. Free, www.amoeba.com. Also Thursday at the Skirbail Cultural Center and Friday at Temple Bar in Santa Monica.
