Vieux Farka Touré has evolved from a young talented African musician into an established star in the international music community. He's on the bill for the July World Cup Celebration Concert along with BLK JKS, Angelique Kidjo, Amadou and Mariam, Parlotones, South African legend Vusi Mahlasela, Tinariwen, The Black Eyed Peas, Carlos Santana, Alicia Keys, and Shakira. He's touring the US this April playing fourteen dates in sixteen days. If you've never seen Vieux in concert before, definitely take advantage of the opportunity:
