The Malian guitar tradition that was created by and is typified by Vieux's dad Ali Farka Toure, comes out of the Malian griots who play the kora, a traditional stringed instrument from the ancient Malian empire.
That's why their style of playing sound similar to, but still so different from, traditional US southern blues guitar.
Bit of chorus, bit of delay maybe?

He gets a killer tone out of that Godin. Wish I knew how Malian players get that zingy sound!

and... that's why I stayed focused mostly on his guitar solos. Vieux Farka Toure is brilliant... don't miss a chance to see him live!
