What:
Tickets $17/20 available at the Works, Morningstar, and online at www.Inticketing.com Vieux Farka Touré, the son of the great Malian guitarist Ali Farka Touré, has already stepped out from his late father’s shadow. Ali Farka Touré proved, in case anyone ever doubted it, that the soul of the blues could be found in West Africa. His son Vieux is turning heads with a more radical idea: that those western Saharan roots can be he…ard in everything from the jam band scene to Jamaican dub. Absynth Quintet and DJ Knutz open the show.
