untitled Vieux Farka Toure To Perform @ Alliance Fran?aise

Vieux FarkaTour?, a son of Ali Farka Tour?, the late Malian Grammy award winning artiste, will on Saturday December 1, perform at the Alliance Fran?aise in Accra.

Following the release of a remix album ?UFOs Over Bamako? in 2008 and multiple performance tours, Tour? released his second studio album ?Fondo? in May 2009. Indeed, the album peaked at No 5 on Billboard?s World Albums chart during the week of 11/07/09 and was included in the Village Voice?s Top 100 list for 2009.

In June 2010, the young Tour? was invited to perform at the Opening Celebration of the 2010 FIFA World Cup in the Republic of South Africa. He performed alongside internationally acclaimed artistes such as Shakira, Alicia Keys and K?naan. On his return to Mali, he released his first live album titled ?Live?.

?The Secret?, his third studio album, which was produced by Soulive guitarist Eric Krasno, was released in May 24, 2011. It featured Dave Matthews, Derek Trucks and John Scofield. It also features the last collaboration between Tour? and his famous late father. ?The Secret? reached the No 1 spot on CMJ?s New World chart in June 2011.

Institut Fran?ais (Ghana) and Alliance Fran?aise (Accra) are sponsoring the concert.
