The Observer, CD Review >>
Musical dynasties are the norm in West Africa, but the son of Mali's lateguitar maestro, Ali Farka, brings an impressive touch to an album that is both his debut and a valedictory tribute to his father. On 'Diallo', one of two numbers where the pair duet, Ali plays with majestic fervour, clearly raging against the dying of the light. Elsewhere, Vieux forges his own identity alongside other young talents like vocalist Issa Bamba and sparsably with his mentor, kora genius Toumani Diabate, on a pair of contemplative pieces. Crisply produced, the record crackles with minimalistintensity - a triumph. 02/04/07 >> go there
