Vieux Farka Touré + Idan Raichel Quartet

This event occurs in the past, April 15
55 Davis Square, Somerville, MA   (view map)

Filed under: blues, mali, desert blues, world, african

Out of a chance airport meeting between superstars of their respective countries has come the Touré-Raichel Collective, in which the Malian guitarist Vieux Farka Touré and the Israeli singer-songwriter-pianist Idan Raichel fashion sublime, flowing acoustic jams. It’s not for nothing that their Cumbancha debut is drawing comparisons to the classic sessions between Touré’s dad, Ali Farka Touré, and Ry Cooder, Talking Timbuktu.
