Four years after "Jah Victory", Alpha Blondy is back with a new album, "Vision". While fans of the African reggae star were able to tide themselves over with the gradual reissue of part of his catalogue (seven albums) by Wagram, the wait for this new opus was a long one.
At the crossroads of genres, "Vision" is Alpha Blondy's 15th album. An occasion for a run of concerts in France this spring, ending on a high with La Nuit Africaine on 11 June 2011 at the Stade de France.
