“Set to be Africa’s next guitar hero. ” — The Guardian, review about Vieux’s Queen Elizabeth Hall show

“The son of the late Malian guitarist Ali Farka Toure, inherited his dad’s dazzlingly fluid phrasing but clearly also digs the fiery African blues rock of bands like Tinariwen. Here, he joins American peers for a crossover set that slays” — Rolling Stone

“Not just the “Hendrix of the Sahara” but much more besides.” — Songlines
