+ KYO DAIKO
Vieux Farka Touré is a Malian singer/guitarist and son of Grammy-winning Malian musician Ali Farka Touré, one of the uncontested trailblazers of African music. Vieux's critically-acclaimed music is a generational bridge connecting American and African blues music and culture. Vieux's 2011 album "The Secret" which "slays" according to Rolling Stone Magazine features guest appearances from Dave Matthews, Derek Trucks, John Scofield and the last collaboration between Vieux and his late father, Ali. Opening this evening's event will be a heart-pounding performance from Kyo Daiko, Philadelphia’s only Japanese-style drumming crew.
