But with Songs from the West Coast, he forgoes the Disneyland fluff that he's been peddling for the better part of two decades and sinks his teeth back into the type of songs that defined his career.

 CD Baby: VIEUX DIOP: Traditional Songs of West Africa
Vieux Diop, whose real name is Alioune, takes the heart of West African music into new territory, making it modern without losing its ancient sight.
Vieux owes his musical heritage not only to his mother, who was always singing the melodies and rhythms of Senegal, their West African homeland, but to his love of American music.
The material here has a quieter feel than that of the 1995 release- instead of the full band with driving drums and electric bass, we have Vieux's subdued vocals and elegant kora performing his takes on West African traditional songs.
