This paper considers the nonuniform sparse recovery of block signals in a fusion frame, which is a collection of subspaces that provides redundant representation of signal spaces. Combined with specific fusion frame, the sensing mechanism selects block-vector-valued measurements independently at random from a probability distribution [Formula: see text]. If the probability distribution [Formula: see text] obeys a simple incoherence property and an isotropy property, we can faithfully recover approximately block sparse signals via mixed [Formula: see text]-minimization in ways similar to Compressed Sensing. The number of measurements is significantly reduced by a priori knowledge of a certain incoherence parameter [Formula: see text] associated with the angles between the fusion frame subspaces. As an example, the paper shows that an [Formula: see text]-sparse block signal can be exactly recovered from about [Formula: see text] Fourier coefficients combined with fusion frame [Formula: see text], where [Formula: see text].
