Vieux, Souleymane Kane (Calabash) and Aly Magassa (guitar) in session at Bush House for BBC Network Africa.
This is Vieux's own arrangement of a traditional Malian song.
The recording took much longer than we anticipated but the band took it in extremely good humour and were patient and amused by our tragic attempts at French!
Vieux Farka Touré was also interviewd by Bola Mosuro about his new album Fondo. You can listen at: http://www.bbc.co.uk/worldservice/africa/2009/05/090528_vft_av.shtml
Beautiful innit?

Amazing the sound is so incredible and flowing seeing him tonight in Illinois. I will probably cry thinking how he sounds like his father Ali.

When I listen to Vieux, I can hear his Father Ali, maybe it is because he is singing his fathers song.
