Vieux Farka Toure quotes
-
“We have oral traditions in Mali, and songs are passed down and around this way. I think in the US you can play all the time in your own room and never see another musician your whole life. We can't understand that in Mali.”
-- Vieux Farka Toure -
“Mali is a very social society. We share everything. I think sharing our resources in music forces us to collaborate more, play with other people more, share ideas more.”
-- Vieux Farka Toure -
“Many people love my music. Many do not understand it. In general my music is more easily understood by younger people in Mali, and by people outside Africa.”
-- Vieux Farka Toure -
“My father thought that if I was to go into the army, at the least I would have a reliable paycheck at the end of each month with which to feed my family. Music is less assured. One could say more dangerous!”
