SUMMARY:RCM: Vieux Farka Touré and Melat Mengesha
DESCRIPTION:Known worldwide for his electrifying live shows\, Vieux Farka Touré’s virtuosic guitar work blends Malian blues\, rock\, and soul. Winner of Ethiopian Idol Melat Mengesha opens the show. \nOften referred to as “The Hendrix of the Sahara\,” Vieux Farka Touré is the son of legendary Malian guitarist Ali Farka Touré\, who died in 2006. 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 despite any language barriers (though Vieux does speak eight languages!). \nHailing from Addis Ababa\, Ethiopia\, now based in Toronto\, Melat Mengesha’s music features contemporary\, folk\, and Ethio-jazz roots sounds. Two major influences in her artistic expression are the legendary Ethiopian singers Gigi (Ejigayehu Shibabaw) and Aster Aweke. A major turning point came in 2015\, when Melat won the first season of Balageru (Ethiopian Idol). That breakthrough opened the door to a variety of showcases and performances\, from intimate stages to large-scale concerts\, allowing her to tour across her hometown and beyond. \nAfter the concert\, enjoy a beverage and more music at the Postlude Performance in the Leslie & Anna Dan Galleria. \nBUY TICKETS
