| Vieux Farka Toure |
Aptly titled ‘Blackberrys Sharp Nights – Masters Of World Music’, the India tour will showcase two of the world's leading world music performers, promote local musical talent and institute a scholarship fund to help conserve traditional Indian music.
Commenting on this unique amalgamation of fashion and music and its efforts to accustom the Indian audiences with the genre of world music, Mr. Nikhil Mohan, Managing Director, Blackberrys said, “Sharp Nights has always been a much awaited event. This year we are delighted to introduce world music under the Masters of World Music series. Much like how fashion is intertwined with world cultures, world music too emanates from the remarkable diversity prevalent in the universe. It is here that audiences appreciate how music participates and connects to the world in ways unfamiliar to us.”
Furthermore the concert will begin with a fashion auction which will showcase the Blackberrys AW '14 look – the proceeds of which will be used to nurture Indian traditional music schools, by providing scholarships for deserving students and funds for material support.
ABOUT Vieux Farka ToureVieux Farka Toure, often referred to as ‘The Hendrix of the Sahara’, is a Malian singer and guitarist and the son of the legendary Ali FarkaTouré, whose music was described by Peter Gabriel as ‘the DNA of the Blues’. Vieux was invited to perform at the opening celebration of the 2010 FIFA World Cup along with other performers including Shakira & Alicia Keys. Vieux is known for his virtuosity with the guitar - his Blues riffs reminiscent of the genius of his father, and redolent with the culture of Mali.
