“The Hendrix of the Sahara” – ALL MUSIC GUIDE

“Vieux Farka Toure’s group is the best fucking rock band in the world” – DON WAS (Producer: Rolling Stones, Bob Dylan)

“Mali has a new guitar God, and his name is Vieux Farka Touré ” – FADER

Vieux Farka Touré (pronounced Vyuh Farka Tawray) 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 as 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.

They infuse punk rock with Celtic instruments—violin, mandolin and the accordion—and they merge blues progressions with grinding guitars and traditional Irish music. FLOGGING MOLLY’s fans FLOGGING MOLLY have always defied categorisation. The infectious originality of their songs is a badge of honour and key to the band’s creativity, their urgency. have always appreciated the social and political awareness driving the music.

FLOGGING MOLLY have never conformed to industry tastes; they’ve always been the outcasts who put their fans before commercial success, and they’ve always put their music before marketability. The rewards of such independence and integrity are undeniable on their latest album, ‘Speed of Darkness’. The album, like FLOGGING MOLLY itself, is a testament to youth and resilience, to growing old and the wisdom of scars, and yet for all of the record’s darkness and the speed with which it descends, the ultimate theme is one of light: we can persevere. We must and we will persevere. “Diehard fans might miss Flogging Molly’s manic moments, but Darkness’ lyrical depth–and sonic diversity–are incredibly rewarding.” – Rock Sound
