Following close on the heels of his acclaimed debut, Vieux Farka Toure collaborates with a select team of top producers presenting brilliant illustrations of his signature desert blues. VFT Remixed is a fully-realized, classic mix of big-beat dance floor crushers, hip-hop infused funk, trancey landscapes and dubbed-out electronica. Featuring Cheb i Sabbah, Karsh Kale, and Nickodemus.
