Vieux' second album develops on his 2006 self-titled debut, which was altogether too polite, as proved by some of the lovely versions released on the remix album "UFO's Over Bamako",......but... The 'but' is that, having seen him live and been completely blown away by an ambitious, technically dazzling and, most importantly, awesomely rocking young musician who was up for moving his father's somewhat stately Malian blues into a blistering, Hendrix-inspired electric/sonic maelstrom, I'm still waiting to hear a recording that does justice to that live self. "Fondo" is a great piece of work, no doubt about that, and it gives tantalising glimpses of what he is capable of delivering live. I just wish he and his producers were confident enough to break out of the world music ghetto and present him as the potentially world-conquering artist and musician his live set suggests. In the meantime, this new album will do, but he is capable of producing scorching, scintillating music that could cross any sort of boundary, musical, cultural,, linguistic, geographical, you name it. So, "Fondo" is great for now, but surely his live ambition should translate to a recording soon. Or even, maybe, a live set? That would be something else again!

Better than his dad? Probably not, but as good and a bit different. Above all I think there's more variety here than you'll find in his Dad's work. The laid back duet with Toumani Diabate ("Paradise") lives up to its name and wouldn't have been out of place on "In the heart of the moon (Ali Farka Toure and Toumani Diabate). Not sure Dad ever turned his hand to reggae though, as Vieux does here to good effect ("Diaraby Magni"). Well worth four stars!

This album is in a similar vein to the first VFT album, lots of intricate guitar playing, a bit more 'rock' than the first, but still some great songs and plenty of variety with the occassional more accoustic track such as Paradise which features Toumani Diabate.
If you liked the eponymous VFT ablum then you will not be disappointed by this, recommended.

Vieux Farka Toure's first album was a compelling mix of styles which combined the desert blues of his father with other influences such as reggae, and more mellow kora-inspired... Read more
