VIEUX FARKA TOURÉ

Big Planet

Tue 19 - Wed 20 Jan 2010



This January sees the first time visit to Australian shores for African guitarist/singer/songwriter, Vieux Farka Touré who is set to perform an intimate show at Brisbane Powerhouse.

Mixing reggae, funk and R&B, Vieux Farka Touré breaks new ground as one of the first world music artists to embrace the sounds of rock. The son of African music legend, the late Ali Farka Touré, he draws on West African Malian traditions, and incorporates his father’s signature desert style blues to create his own unique style and sound.

Please note BEMAC's operating hours for 2010 will be Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday 10am - 4pm. BEMAC reopens for business on Tuesday 19th January.
