As Scorsese says, the "DNA of the blues" lies in West Africa, and specifically Mali. Vieux and his father are INCREDIBLE musicians who reflect this with their music!
Vieux plays in Ithaca's Cornell Cinema April 11, 2010. Check it out y'all - intimate setting, seating, a small and lovely venue. 'twill be awesome, surely.
Hey, I upload this video, you can download it at tinyurl (dot) com/video29 You can put that on your ipod or whatever...
this one looked a lot better then the one on the train, not so cramped. Id love? to have been there to see this, although I mightve been tempted to join in. hey you know what'd be kool you should do the dance from the opening of austin powers, thatd be wicked to see in the street, you might need more people though..

god i love this song! the video really makes the song though. i spent so long looking for the ringtone. finally found it at complimentarysongs. com they have so many damn ringtones there.
MASHA-ALLAH! This guy is great. The world was sad when his father (Rahimahullah- "May Allah have mercy upon him)) passed away. Now we can celebrate knowing that the son may even become greater than the father!
I love this guys music so much. I don't understand the language, but eh! that is what unites us! Could somebody just give me a rough translation of this song? Shukran.
Hey sorry about that! Vieux doesn't have a chance to check his Facebook account too much, but he assures me he'll take care of it. Thanks to you and everyone for all your love and support! -The MODIBA crew
PLEASE DONT READ THIS! In 1997 a girl called lauren was walikng in a forest and then a she just dissapeared no one ever found her untill 2000 when a yoing girl called Mary found her body and markings on her chest saying: I wasnt pretty enough" and now you have read this she will appear in your mirror saying your not pretty enough and kill you. by the way the girl called mary died shortly after.

I love him I hope he comes to Detroit - we would love to have him here at the Detroit Instititute of Arts or the Arab American Museum we would pack them with folks that love the Mali Blues world sound - Ohio - come on bring it to the Motor City!!!!
So wonderful to hear that the apple did not fall far from the tree- the son is in the same league as his father - now my Vieux Farka Toure collection begins.
