Video Selecter: Vieux Farka Touré
Check Out His Video For "All The Same", Featuring Dave Matthews
Each week Nat Geo Music scours the internet for the freshest new music videos from around the globe.
This week we turn to Mali, where Vieux Farka Touré teamed up with Dave Matthews to record this brand new video for "All The Same".
Son of the late Malian guitar legend Ali Farka Touré, Vieux is hot on the heels of the release of his third studio album, The Secret (Six Degrees Records), which has already entered the Billboard World Charts top 3 and Billboard Indie Chart top 200.
Recorded largely in Mali's Studio Bogolan before being carried to Brooklyn, The Secret was produced by Eric Krasno, a versatile guitarist and founder of jazz futurists Soulive. Originally conceived of as an extended family-style project. The album also features the musical talents of Dave Matthews, Derek Trucks, John Scofield, Ivan Neville and Vieux's final collaboration with his legendary father.
