“Every now and then, if you’re very lucky, you get to witness a live performance that blows everything else away.” — The Independent, UK
Fresh from releasing his critically acclaimed collaboration album with instrumental superstars Khruangbin, Mali’s favourite son Vieux Farka Touré will tour with his live band in Aotearoa for the first time in February 2023.
One of the world’s most respected guitarists and musicians, Vieux Farka Touré will perform in Auckland February 21 and Wellington February 22, playing songs from his extraordinary catalogue. Including cuts from this year’s release Les Racines (hailed as one of the best albums of 2022), as well as from Ali, the 5 star reviewed album made alongside Khruangbin in tribute to Vieux’s father, the legendary Ali Farka Touré.
Never one to stick to just one creative path, Vieux’s other 2022 release Ali seamlessly melds his masterful guitar work and soulful singing with Khruangbin’s dubby psychedelia.
New Zealand audiences can expect a truly mesmerising performance in February 2023.
