Vieux Farka Touré

Silver Studio Sessions By Ben Harrison

We feel very fortunate that guitarist and songwriter Vieux Farka Touré recorded this Silver Home Studio Session for us from his home city of Bamako, Mali. And we’re thrilled that he’ll be joining us for our inaugural Sound Series: Block Party on September 18, as we return to live, in-person performance on an outdoor stage on the North Shore. Vieux, accompanied by his dynamic band, will be part of a roster six artists, as we celebrate the return to communal performance experiences and the universal nature of live music.

Vieux Farka Touré performs “Ali” and “All The Same” in this special “at home” Silver Studio Session.
