It was a real treat to see Vieux Farka Toure, son of Ali Farka bring his legendary Malian guitar sound to the intimate Walnut Room in Denver. While often called “the Hendrix of the Sahara,” I think Toure stands on his own as a true guitar innovator and bandleader. There was a full house there to see the trio play a fantastic high energy set.
