The late Malian guitarist Ali Farka Touré was among Africa's most internationally renowned musicians. Listening to him, it was easy to draw the connection between the blues and its West African roots. If he was the bridge between two traditional forms, then it is only fitting that his contemporary counterpart is his son, Vieux Farka Touré. One of world music's rising stars, Touré will be performing on Monday night at the Rock and Roll Hotel, playing what he describes as "the new reality of African music."
