<div><p>Merging the complex rhythms and Latin influences of South America with a modern fusion of funk and commercial dance music, Conga Cartel brilliantly combines to produce an explosive mix of dynamic music that rocks audiences to their very core.</p><p>Working out of New York, the seven-piece band represent the wonderful tapestry of the South American continent and have been weaving together a stunning sound that has been entertaining crowds for years. A true international collection of experienced musicians, with band members coming from Uruguay, Chile, Venezuela, Colombia, Ecuador and New York itself, their music is undeniably infectious and underpinned by that audacious Latin flare.</p><p>Fronted by the smokey and soaring vocals of Carolina, every single member of the band combines to become more than a sum of all their parts. Willy Fuentes from Chile drives the rhythm section with solid bass line grooves. Playing drums with boundless vitality, Jorge Castano, originally from Colombia, provides that perfect interplay with the rest of the band; complemented at all times by father and son percussionists Aquiles Jr. and Aquiles Senior. Infused with their Venezuelan heritage, they provide that infectious top line of congas, timbales, maracas, bongos, bells, and whistles that brings the carnival to the party. And finally, but by no means least, fitting like a smoldering glove of Santana-inspired guitar licks, Fabian Rodriguez from Ecuador proves his elegant mastery of the six-stringed instrument to audiences every time he performs.<br /><br />Conga Cartel has also egularly jammed with members of Mambo Loco.</p><p>Conga Cartel have played at some of the most memorable events and venues in the Hamptons including The Montauk Music Festival, North-West ‘Woodstock’, Stephen Talkhouse, The Gig Shack , Springs Tavern, Tauk at Trails End, The Surf Club and The Harpoon House. Either individually or as a band, they have worked with artists such as Taylor Dayne, Orquesta Alquimia, Steel Pulse, Mila Tina, GE Smith, Big Karma, Mambo Loco, and Bajo Suen?os. As these performances and legacy demonstrate, they firmly believe in providing a platform and a strong voice for the Latin community.</p><p>That incredible experience on stage and unique understanding of the musical journey that their audiences are on, is also driving them towards the studio and an album recording that is eagerly anticipated by their fans. Bringing together that melting pot of cultures with modern dance tunes is an intoxicating mix of ingredients that will redefine what is expected of the Conga Cartel.</p><p>As the world experienced the tragedies of the last two years, so did the lives of musicians descend into anxiety and the loss of their dreams. Now the world has turned and the future looks so much brighter with the Conga Cartel back in it. Stronger together with a musical bond that cannot be broken, they are once again taking to the spotlight with the energy that defines the joy and wonder of life.</p><p>There is nothing finer than hearing the Conga Cartel in full flight. Their collective knowledge of syncopated rhythms and inspiring, sophisticated melodies are a testament to their own self-belief and desire to take their music to the next level. Music is a part of all of our DNA and is the one thing that binds us as human beings. That cultural exchange that the Conga Cartel represents, lives through us in joy, love, celebration and song.</p><p>Fall in love with music all over again and experience the future with the Conga Cartel.</p></div><div> </div>

Since his 1978 debut album, For You, his music has filled the airwaves with raw musical emotion. All of the performers have been inspired by the music of Prince, and now they have joined forces for the first time to bring his music to a live audience. “All of the performers have been inspired by, and have performed Prince’s music for decades,” said guitarist Mike Mazzaraco. “We are honored to have the opportunity to pay tribute to this musical great.” The collaborative effort is spearheaded by an all-star lineup of local musicians including vocalist Dawnette Darden of The HooDoo Loungers, guitarist Mike Mazzaraco, drummer Kevin Santacroce, bassist Klyph Black, keyboardist Etienne Lytle, and percussionist Bopa King Carré.</div></div><div><div> </div><div></div></div></div></div></div></div><p>Show less</p>

<p><span style="font-weight:400">Eddie 9V has an endless stockpile of cool stories – and you’ll find twelve of them on</span></p><p><span style="font-weight:400">new studio album ‘Saratoga’, releasing November 22, 2024 on the fabled Ruf label. It’s a</span></p><p><span style="font-weight:400">record that will thrill both newcomers and fans who have trailed Eddie since the start,</span></p><p><span style="font-weight:400">showcasing his fresh, fiery spin on Southern soul, blues, rock and funk, with his</span></p><p><span style="font-weight:400">signature wit and sharp observations of modern America placing him squarely in the</span></p><p><span style="font-weight:400">here-and-now. “I do think it’s a wonderful road trip album,” he nods.</span></p><p><span style="font-weight:400">Eddie 9V has powered up. From the day he first slung a guitar on a local stage, the Georgia-born band leader announced himself as an artist to watch. But in the last few</span></p><p><span style="font-weight:400">meteoric years, Eddie’s music has crossed oceans and airwaves, transcending his</span></p><p><span style="font-weight:400">cult-hero status to become a beacon for fans of real music everywhere. “Eddie 9V is</span></p><p><span style="font-weight:400">something else,” wrote the UK’s Classic Rock. “A man who genuinely inhabits golden-era American roots, playing the most instinctive blues you’ll hear all year.”</span></p><p><span style="font-weight:400">Check out the gig listings and you’ll find this rising star playing a bigger club every</span></p><p><span style="font-weight:400">time he blows through town. Scan the charts and you’ll find his most recent album,</span></p><p><span style="font-weight:400">2022’s ‘Capricorn’, locking horns with the giants of rock ‘n’ roll. “Capricorn debuted at</span></p><p><span style="font-weight:400">#1 and that was a cool feeling for a week, until Bonnie Raitt kicked us off,” reflects</span></p><p><span style="font-weight:400">Eddie with a smile. “But hey, that’s a cool story to be able to say…”</span></p><p><span style="font-weight:400">We’ve rode shotgun with Eddie for a couple of decades now. Born Brooks Mason in</span></p><p><span style="font-weight:400">June 1996, he was playing guitar by the age of six (“One of those with the speaker in</span></p><p><span style="font-weight:400">it – the most bang for your buck, y’know?”). Even then, manufactured pop music held</span></p><p><span style="font-weight:400">nothing for him, and his years at Union Grove High School were instead soundtracked</span></p><p><span style="font-weight:400">by local heroes like Sean Costello, alongside his studies of “older cats” like Muddy</span></p><p><span style="font-weight:400">Waters, Howlin’ Wolf, Freddie King and Rory Gallagher.</span></p><p><span style="font-weight:400">“I wanted to see what made them groove and tick,” he explains. “I’ve been making up</span></p><p><span style="font-weight:400">lyrics on the spot for years. I believe that came from my Uncle Brian at our family fish</span></p><p><span style="font-weight:400">fries – he taught me about what made people laugh and what kept the audience’s</span></p><p><span style="font-weight:400">attention.”</span></p><p><span style="font-weight:400">Coming up on his home state’s live circuit – first with cover band The Smokin’ Frogs,</span></p><p><span style="font-weight:400">then with highly rated blues-rockers The Georgia Flood – Mason soon turned heads,</span></p><p><span style="font-weight:400">even representing the Atlanta Blues Society at the 2013 International Blues Challenge</span></p><p><span style="font-weight:400">in Memphis. But his true birth as an artist came when he buried his birth name and</span></p><p><span style="font-weight:400">adopted that striking solo moniker. “A lot of people wanted me to be the Brooks</span></p><p><span style="font-weight:400">Mason Blues Band, but that’s been done,” he reasons. “I wanted to start from scratch</span></p><p><span style="font-weight:400">– and I ain’t never heard of no bluesman named Eddie 9V.”</span></p><p><span style="font-weight:400">From the start, Eddie’s output pricked up ears, with 2019’s </span><em><span style="font-weight:400">Left My Soul In Memphis</span></em></p><p><span style="font-weight:400">dubbed “fresh and life-affirming” by Rock &amp; Blues Muse and the chaotic free-for-all of</span></p><p><span style="font-weight:400">2021’s </span><em><span style="font-weight:400">Little Black Flies</span></em><span style="font-weight:400"> praised by Classic Rock as “like having all your best mates in</span></p><p><span style="font-weight:400">the speakers”. In 2023, he got his best reviews yet for ‘Capricorn’, a record tracked at</span></p><p><span style="font-weight:400">the near-mythical Macon studio of the same name, that led The Guardian and NME’s</span></p><p><span style="font-weight:400">Henry Yates to declare: “As an artist, he sounds fully charged”.</span></p><p><span style="font-weight:400">But the great artists evolve, and in both its songcraft and execution, ‘Saratoga’ finds</span></p><p><span style="font-weight:400">Eddie painting with more colors from his palette. “I was shooting for a more</span></p><p><span style="font-weight:400">Americana-type album this time, less blues songs and solos and more focusing on the</span></p><p><span style="font-weight:400">songwriting,” he explains of the eleven originals co-written with his brother, the much-</span></p><p><span style="font-weight:400">respected Southern musician, Lane Kelly. Unlike the anarchy of earlier albums,</span></p><p><span style="font-weight:400">meanwhile, the sessions mostly saw the multi-instrumentalist siblings hunkered down</span></p><p><span style="font-weight:400">at their own Echo Deco Studio in Atlanta, self-producing the new tracks with Patrick</span></p><p><span style="font-weight:400">Meese and inviting guest players to supply horns, fiddle and lap steel.</span></p><p><span style="font-weight:400">“It was definitely more me and my brother in our home studio recording everything.</span></p><p><span style="font-weight:400">There’s a lot of guests, for sure, but it was mainly overdubbing. We did the songs</span></p><p><em><span style="font-weight:400">Saratoga</span></em><span style="font-weight:400">, </span><em><span style="font-weight:400">Delta</span></em><span style="font-weight:400"> and </span><em><span style="font-weight:400">Halo</span></em><span style="font-weight:400"> at Crown Lanes Studio in Denver and it was nice to take a</span></p><p><span style="font-weight:400">break, walk outside, see the mountains, feel the fresh air. At our studio, it’s just muggy</span></p><p><span style="font-weight:400">with mosquitoes. But sometimes it’s good to not have distractions.”</span></p><p><span style="font-weight:400">Likewise, the new songs of ‘Saratoga’ deserve nothing less than your full attention.</span></p><p><span style="font-weight:400">Eddie’s latest album announces his new groove with the crisp, purposeful beats of the</span></p><p><span style="font-weight:400">opening title track, an instant favorite that gets under your skin with its almost disco-</span></p><p><span style="font-weight:400">style harmonies and joust of horns and slide guitar. As Eddie says: “That song is about</span></p><p><span style="font-weight:400">being in a lonely tiny town that feels impossible to escape.”</span></p><p><span style="font-weight:400">Halo struts from the speakers on Eddie’s falsetto howl, before the lush yearning of </span><em><span style="font-weight:400">Cry</span></em></p><p><em><span style="font-weight:400">Like A River</span></em><span style="font-weight:400"> and </span><em><span style="font-weight:400">Love Moves So Slow</span></em><span style="font-weight:400"> (co-written by Spencer Pope) brings vintage</span></p><p><span style="font-weight:400">soul into the modern age. The brittle riffs and spacey vocal of </span><em><span style="font-weight:400">Delta</span></em><span style="font-weight:400"> mark another</span></p><p><span style="font-weight:400">gearshift, flowing into </span><em><span style="font-weight:400">Red River’s</span></em><span style="font-weight:400"> reflective-yet-kinetic groove. </span><em><span style="font-weight:400">Wasp Weather</span></em><span style="font-weight:400"> speaks</span></p><p><span style="font-weight:400">to Eddie’s love of rapid-fire streams of consciousness. “That’s my favorite lyrically</span></p><p><span style="font-weight:400">’cos I like spewing words that don’t make sense into songs. ‘I got a big mud house</span></p><p><span style="font-weight:400">that I can’t keep clean, it’s useless’ – I love that line.”</span></p><p><span style="font-weight:400">The album plays out in style with the trilling alt-folk of </span><em><span style="font-weight:400">Truckee</span></em><span style="font-weight:400"> – “We got high and did</span></p><p><span style="font-weight:400">shrooms and camped on the Truckee river in California,” he explains of the inspiration</span></p><p><span style="font-weight:400">– the wistful </span><em><span style="font-weight:400">Tides</span></em><span style="font-weight:400"> and </span><em><span style="font-weight:400">Love You All The Way Down</span></em><span style="font-weight:400">. Eddie even slips in a brass-</span></p><p><span style="font-weight:400">blasting take on Mac DeMarco’s </span><em><span style="font-weight:400">Chamber Of Reflection</span></em><span style="font-weight:400">, before bringing the record</span></p><p><span style="font-weight:400">home with </span><em><span style="font-weight:400">The Road To Nowhere’s</span></em><span style="font-weight:400"> shuddering, tremolo-drenched country lament, his</span></p><p><span style="font-weight:400">trademark twang utterly transformed into a vintage croon.</span></p><p><span style="font-weight:400">Eddie 9V is right: this latest album takes us all over the musical and emotional map,</span></p><p><span style="font-weight:400">while announcing that his recent career peaks are just the start. “Capricorn was a big</span></p><p><span style="font-weight:400">jump for us,” he reflects. “But I’m already writing new songs, y’know?”</span></p>

<p>Nancy Atlas and her band of Journeymen have been dominating the East End Music scene or Long Island for quite some time. Known for her raw, live performances and stellar songwriting Nancy and her band, The Nancy Atlas Project, have opened for almost everyone under the sun. To name a few: Elvis Costello, Lucinda Williams, Toots and the Maytals, Jimmy Buffett, Crosby, Stills and Nash… the list goes on and on. The reason is simple. When people want a solid act to open their show and get the crowd warmed up, they call  Nancy and her boys because they know they will deliver. Every time.<br />Nancy grew up with gypsy blood in Commack, NY. Eager to get the buck out of dodge she spent her entire college years abroad at both Cambridge University in England and Richmond College in London and Florence.  She majored in art history, fine art, drinking lots of wine and talking shit. There was a serious recession going on the year she graduated college so instead of becoming a mad advertising executive she walked down to Portabello Road, London, bought a guitar for 60 quid and never looked back. It was pouring buckets of English rain that day so they gave her a black plastic bag to cover her guitar as it didn’t come with a case. Nothing, it is said, can stop true desire.<br />Nancy now lives in Montauk, New York with her husband Thomas and her two sons, Cash and Levon, and her daughter Tallulah. When she is not writing a song or on stage rocking out, she can be found clamming with her kids, surfing with her kids, walking with her kids, reading with her kids or <a href="http://nancyatlas.com/?page_id&#61;285">cartooning</a> for her kids. On rainy days she lazily traces tour maps of Europe with her right hand while sipping her beloved PG Tibs English Tea and smiling out into the East End Mist.</p><blockquote><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><p><strong>Danielia Cotton is a New York City based singer/songwriter originally from Hopewell, NJ. In 2010 Danielia was named </strong><strong>Lilith Fair&#39;s</strong><strong> Ourstage Local Talent Winner for NYC. Since then she has shared the stage with the likes of Robert Cray, Bon Jovi, and Gregg Allman.  In the review of her <em>Rare Child</em> album The NY Times says this: “</strong><strong><span style="color:#262626;font-family:&#39;cambria&#39; , serif;font-size:medium">She’s a belter who can hold back or work her way up to a gospelly blues-rock shout, and in the songs she writes with her band’s brawny guitar riffs, she grapples with the road, salvation, holding on and letting go. “The truth will set you free, but it always feels like it tears you apart,” she sings. She’s a throwback, but a gutsy one.” Her latest studio album </span><span style="color:#262626;font-family:&#39;cambria&#39; , serif;font-size:medium"><em>Good Day </em>and new single “<em>She Too&#34; </em></span></strong><strong>is out now where music is sold! </strong></p></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></blockquote>

<p>Since first lighting up the world with their glorious fusion of country and soul, The War And Treaty<br />have steadily built a legacy as one of the most iconic husband-and-wife duos in music history. In the<br />last few years alone, Michael Trotter Jr. and Tanya Trotter’s phenomenal talent and daring originality<br />have led to major milestones like earning two Grammy nominations, taking home the Duo/Group<br />of the Year prize at the Americana Music Honors &amp; Awards two years in a row, and performing at<br />stadiums as support for superstars like the Rolling Stones and Zach Bryan—a triumph that’s won<br />them a whole new legion of fans thanks to the electrifying impact of their revelatory live show. On<br />their new album Plus One, The War And Treaty double down on the powerful sense of togetherness<br />that’s always fueled their music, offering up 18 life-affirming songs aimed at providing a shared<br />experience of hope and healing and much-needed joy.<br />“We see this record as an open invitation to be a part of what we’re doing—it came from wanting to<br />be the hope we believe people need right now, as well as the hope that we need for ourselves,” says<br />Tanya. “Too often we feel all alone in this world, and when we feel alone it can be easy to succumb<br />to despair,” Michael adds. “One of our main intentions with this album is to inspire people to share<br />themselves with others, and open themselves up to the possibility of being loved.”<br />Mainly produced by Michael and recorded at the legendary FAME Studios in Muscle Shoals, Plus<br />One marks their fourth full-length and follow-up to Lover’s Game—a 2023 LP whose standout track<br />“Blank Page” nabbed a Grammy nomination for Best American Roots Song, with The War And<br />Treaty nominated for Best New Artist. To create their most extravagant body of work to date, the<br />duo enlisted their longtime live band and dreamed up a singular sound touched with elements of<br />gospel, bluegrass, contemporary country, classic soul, symphonic pop, folk-rock, and more. Partly<br />made in collaboration with esteemed producers like Jonathan Singleton (Luke Combs, Chase Rice),<br />John Shanks (Stevie Nicks, Sheryl Crow), and Jesse Frasure (Jelly Roll, Kelsea Ballerini), the result is<br />a transcendent double album firmly rooted in their timeless musicality and forward-thinking vision.<br />“There’s a spirit in the walls at FAME that I could hear speaking to us—I could feel Wilson Pickett<br />and Percy Sledge and the Allman Brothers, all telling us to be honest and humble and take this<br />moment very seriously,” says Michael. “The goal was to pull from the energy of the past and the<br />present, and come up with something that becomes part of the future.”<br />In a potent introduction to the album’s sonic magnificence, Plus One opens on “Love Like Whiskey”:<br />a soul-soothing portrait of a love strong enough to overcome any obstacle, co-written by the<br />Trotters and country queen Miranda Lambert. “We’ve been friends with Miranda for a while, and we<br />all got together and decided to write a song about how Michael and I work through those times<br />when we’re not getting along,” Tanya explains. With its radiant guitar work, rousing horns, and<br />beautifully lived-in storytelling, “Love Like Whiskey” finds The War And Treaty leaning further into<br />their deep-seated love of country while boldly expanding the genre’s boundaries. “In the past we’ve<br />been told our sound wasn’t radio-friendly, but over time we started getting attention from country<br />radio,” says Michael. “We’ve been seeing a lot of new artists pushing the envelope as far as what<br />country music can be, so we decided, ‘Why not join them, and push it our own way?’”<br />Both exquisitely gifted vocalists, Michael and Tanya trade off verses all throughout Plus One to share<br />their distinct perspective on their one-of-a-kind love story—a dynamic put to dazzling use on songs<br />like “Can I Get An Amen.” Over the course of the hard-hitting but exuberant track, the two present<br />an up-close glimpse into their daily lives and the countless ways in which they lift each other up<br />(from the opening lyrics, delivered by Michael: “Sunday morning, she’s a bona fide preacher/Laying<br />hands all over me”). “When I sing that line, it’s a true statement about when I was going through the<br />height of my PTSD and Tanya would massage me to calm me down,” says Michael, an Iraq War<br />veteran and wounded warrior. “The whole song came from being thankful for the seven days a week<br />I get to spend with Tanya, and all the good that can come when I really open up and let her in.”<br />One of the most thrilling moments on Plus One, “Carried Away” revels in the unending passion at<br />the heart of their romance. “Sometimes we have to sit back and marvel at the fact that we’ve been<br />together for 15 years,” says Tanya. “So many marriages crumble a few years in, but with us it just<br />keeps getting better and better with time.” In a particularly brilliant move, “Carried Away” takes the<br />shape of a pedal-steel-laced honky-tonk ballad during the verses, then slips into a groove-heavy R&amp;B<br />slow-burner at the chorus. “The most important part about nailing that song was making sure that<br />Tanya and I were in the same room, vibing off each other,” Michael recalls. “We put our foreheads<br />together and left that space between our lips, and then just moved together like the ocean.”<br />Endlessly revealing the incredible depth of their musicianship, Plus One encompasses everything<br />from the moody bluegrass romp of “Drink From Me” (featuring virtuoso guitarist Billy Strings) to<br />the wildly ecstatic “Called You By Your Name” (a breakneck-paced rallying cry influenced by the<br />Black gospel tradition of shout music). On “Skyscraper,” the duo serve up a stomp-and-clap anthem<br />graced with guest vocals from their daughter (Courtney Trotter) and Michael’s mother (Deborah<br />Trotter), transforming the track into a triumphant family affair. “When you look up at all those<br />skyscrapers in New York City, you don’t usually think about what it took to build them,” says<br />Michael. “We know that sometimes it takes a lot of pain and struggle and loneliness to get to where<br />you’re meant to be, so we wrote that song to remind everyone that we’re all beautiful skyscrapers<br />with a story to tell.” And on “Tunnel Vision,” The War And Treaty lay down a fiery country-rock<br />banger declaring their determination to fully live their truth. “I started writing that song during the<br />pandemic, which reminded us how we need to stay focused on doing what brings us joy,” says<br />Michael. “It’s about coming out of that experience with a victorious mindset and telling the world,<br />‘We’ve got a goal in mind, and we’re not going to let anyone or anything get in our way.’”<br />In selecting a title for their latest album, The War And Treaty chose to honor the once-in-a-lifetime<br />connection evident in everything they create. Now based in Nashville, the two first met at a<br />Maryland music festival in 2010 and instantly discovered an undeniable chemistry despite their<br />disparate backgrounds. To that end, Tanya grew up near Washington, D.C., and found success as a<br />singer and actress as a teenager, while Michael taught himself to play piano while encamped in one<br />of Saddam Hussein’s palaces during his time in the military. Within several years of crossing paths,<br />the duo co-founded The War And Treaty and set off on an unstoppable rise that’s now included<br />sharing stages with such eclectic artists as Chris Stapleton and Al Green, performing twice at the<br />White House, joining forces with Zach Bryan on his platinum-certified smash “Hey Driver”<br />(nominated for a People’s Choice Country Award), and amassing an ever-growing list of accolades<br />and award nominations. But for Michael and Tanya, the duo’s greatest achievement lies in the<br />constant growth of their adoring and deeply engaged fanbase. “We hear a lot from veterans who tell<br />us our music inspires them to keep holding on, and from young girls who look up to Tanya and<br />show us the pictures they’ve drawn of her,” he notes. “We’ve also seen people fall in love at our<br />shows, and then get in touch later to let us know that one of our songs was the first dance at their<br />wedding. It’s becoming a whole culture cultivated in love.”<br />As they get set to tour in support of Plus One, The War And Treaty look forward to joining their fans<br />in rejoicing in the album’s mood of unbridled gratitude and full-hearted celebration. “At a time<br />when human connection is being threatened by AI and all the division happening in our country, I<br />think a lot of us are thirsting to really connect with others,” says Michael. “We want our live show to<br />be a place where you can be around other likeminded people, where we can all get together and let<br />the love wash over all the pain we’ve experienced. And if you can, we hope everyone will bring a<br />plus one—someone who needs to hear what we’re saying, so that we can all grow together and<br />extend that spirit of love as far as it can go.”</p>

<p><span style="font-weight:400">Often referred to as “The Hendrix of the Sahara”, Vieux Farka Touré was born in Niafunké, Mali in 1981. He is the son of legendary Malian guitar player Ali Farka Touré, who died in 2006. Ali Farka Touré came from a historical tribe of soldiers, and defied his parents in becoming a musician. When Vieux was in his teens, he declared that he also wanted to be a musician. His father disapproved due to the pressures he had experienced being a musician. Rather, he wanted Vieux to become a soldier. But with help from family friend the kora maestro Toumani Diabaté, Vieux eventually convinced his father to give him his blessing to become a musician shortly before Ali passed.</span></p><p><span style="font-weight:400">Vieux was initially a drummer / calabash player at Mali’s Institut National des Arts, but secretly began playing guitar in 2001. Ali Farka Touré was weakened with cancer when Vieux announced that he was going to record an album. Ali recorded a couple of tracks with him, and these recordings, which can be heard on Vieux’s debut CD, were amongst his final ones. It has been said that the senior Touré played rough mixes of these songs when people visited him in his final days, at peace with, and proud of, his son’s talent as a musician.</span></p><p><span style="font-weight:400">In 2005, Eric Herman (still Vieux’s manager today) of Modiba Productions expressed an interest in producing an album for Vieux; this led to Vieux’s self-titled debut album, released by World Village in 2007. Ali Farka Touré’s work to tackle the problem of malaria is continued as 10% of proceeds are donated to Modiba’s “Fight Malaria” campaign in Niafunké through which over 3000 mosquito nets have been delivered to children and pregnant women in the Timbuktu region of Mali. On this first album, Vieux pays homage to his father and follows Ali’s musical tradition, giving new versions of the West African music that is echoed in the American blues. The album features Toumani Diabaté, as well as his late father.</span></p><p><span style="font-weight:400">On his second record, Fondo on Six Degrees (2009), Vieux branched out and presented his own sound: while remaining true to the roots of his father’s music he uses elements of rock, Latin music, and other African influences. The album received a great deal of critical acclaim from across the globe, and Vieux was clearly moving out of his father’s shadow.</span></p><p><span style="font-weight:400">By June 2010, Vieux was performing at the opening concert for the FIFA World Cup in South Africa. That month Vieux also released his first live album, LIVE. His live performances are highly energized and Vieux is known for dazzling crowds with his speed and dexterity on the guitar, as well as his palpable charisma and luminous smile, both of which captivate audiences from all audiences in spite of any language barriers (though Vieux does speak 8 languages).</span></p><p><span style="font-weight:400">In 2011 Vieux released his 3rd studio album, The Secret, so named because the listener will hear the secret of the blues with a blend of generations from father to son. It was produced by guitarist Eric Krasno (of the Soulive trio) and features South African-born vocalist Dave Matthews, Derek Trucks on electric slide guitar and jazz guitarist John Scofield. The title track is the last collaboration between Vieux and his late father. With the heralded release of The Secret, Vieux Farka Touré has clearly established himself as one of the world’s rare musical talents and guitar virtuosos with a distinct style that always pays homage to the past while looking towards the future.</span></p><p><span style="font-weight:400">Vieux released The Tel Aviv Session (Cumbancha) in April 2012, a collaborative project with Israeli superstar Idan Raichel dubbed ‘The Touré-Raichel Collective’ that has been hailed by fans and critics alike as a masterpiece and one of the best collaborative albums in the history of international music, drawing comparisons to Ali Farka Touré and Ry Cooder’s legendary Talking Timbuktu album.</span></p><p><span style="font-weight:400">In 2013, Vieux Farka Touré’s beautiful and critically acclaimed album Mon Pays was released as an homage to his homeland. Being that his native Mali had recently been splintered by territorial fighting between Tuareg and Islamic rebels since January 2012, Mon Pays was devoted to reminding the world about the beauty and culture of his native Mali. Translated as ‘My Country,’ this predominantly acoustic undertaking transformed into an artifact of cultural preservation. Two songs on the project - ‘Future’ and ‘Peace’ feature Sidiki Diabate’s kora leading an emotional charge complemented by Touré’s spectacular guitar work. Both tracks represent an important generational “passing of the torch” as Sidiki’s father, Toumani is considered one of the greatest living kora masters and was a close friend of Vieux’s father Ali. Mon Pays has been widely hailed as the most mature and lovely record yet from one of this generation’s most exciting artists to come out of Mali and one of world music’s true rising stars.</span></p><p><span style="font-weight:400">Vieux reunited with Idan Raichel in Paris to record, release and subsequently tour their 2nd collaborative album as The Touré-Raichel Collective in 2014. The result was yet another musical and critical triumph, titled &#39;The Paris Session&#39; (Cumbancha) revered by many as not just a musical gem for the ages, but a powerful testimonial to the power of art and fraternity to transcend vast cultural and political divides. In 2015, Vieux released another unexpected, genre-bending collaborative album, this time with New York-based singer Julia Easterlin, aptly titled &#39;Touristes&#39;. The album shot to the top of the iTunes World chart and earned critical acclaim, including that of John Schaefer (NPR) who called it &#34;brilliant.&#34; On April 7, 2017, Vieux released his next album &#39;Samba&#39;, recorded live in front of a small audience at Applehead Studio in Woodstock, NY.</span></p><p><span style="font-weight:400">When the COVID pandemic hit in 2020 and all touring ground to a halt, Vieux stayed focussed on his craft at home. He worked tirelessly in the studio he built at his family&#39;s compound (which he named &#39;Studio Ali Farka Toure&#39; in honor of his late father) to record his debut album for World Circuit Records/BMG, the prestigious UK-based record label with whom his father recorded and released most of his own work. The resulting album, &#39;Les Racines&#39; (released June 2022), sees Vieux masterfully return to the deep roots of the Desert Blues music that his father introduced to the world and Vieux spent most of his career to date exploring, experimenting with, and expanding. 2022 also saw the release of a long-awaited collaborative album between Vieux and Houston-based psych-rock superstars Khruangbin called ‘Ali’ - an album on which the artists join forces to pay homage to Ali Farka Toure by reimagining eight of his songs together.  The album was an instant hit around the globe, immediately getting millions of streams, enormous critical acclaim and even earning the praise of Sir Elton John who called it &#34;one of the albums of the year - absolutely wonderful music.&#34; With each new project Vieux broadens his horizons, embraces new challenges and further entrenches his reputation as one of the world’s most talented and innovative musicians.</span></p><p><span style="font-weight:400">As a passionate champion for the people of Mali and The Sahel, Vieux founded the charity Amahrec Sahel in 2012. As part of Amahrec Sahel’s mission to support humanitarian reconstruction and culture, the charity has provided school supplies for children, supported an orphanage in Bamako and provided musical instruments for young musicians in Mali. Vieux is also the director of The Ali Farka Touré Foundation, an international organization dedicated to the preservation of Ali’s legacy and the cultural growth of Mali.</span></p>
