Growing up in Mali’s capital, Bamako and his father’s hometown of Niafunké in the Sahara -- both teeming with rich musical life -- Vieux developed remarkable talents as a drummer and calabash player. After defying his father's wishes that he not pursue a life of hardship as a musician, Vieux was taken under the wing of the world's premier kora player Toumani Diabate; and the jaw-dropping debut album which soon followed includes some of Ali's final recordings. www.vieuxfarkatoure.com www.myspace.com/vieuxfarkatoure About The Small world Music Festival The Small World Music Festival has become the premier celebration of world music in the world's most diverse global crossing for music and art. Running from September 18-30 at a dozen venues all across Toronto, this year's 7th annual edition is the most ambitious yet, featuring 19 concerts and workshops that cover the most eclectic range of sound in the festival's proud history.
