ORCHESTRA BAOBAB

Adored both at home in Senegal and by world music fans alike, Baobab occupy a special place in the history of African music. Their unique and uplifting Afro-Latin hybrid, tinged with reggae and an eclectic variety of influences owes everything to the cosmopolitan nature of the band, which includes musicians from all around Senegal (including Casamance in the south) and beyond. The combination of Casamance plus Cuba created something completely new and entrancing that was to become Baobab’s trademark.

Made in Dakar

Beautifully recorded in Dakar’s Xippi studios, ‘Made in Dakar’ continues the story, building on Baobab’s renewed activity on their home turf, where they’ve undertaken their first Dakar club residency in nearly 20 years with hugely successful Saturday night sessions at the Just 4 U club. ‘Made in Dakar’ takes the Baobab sound back to its roots, reflecting the realities of Dakar’s rapidly expanding, demographically exploding urban environment. In particular, there’s the increased use of the sabar, the hard-cracking drums that provide the signature rhythm of Senegal’s dominant pop sound, mbalax.

Specialist In All Styles

After a 20 year gap, during which time their recordings have attained legendary status, Senegalese masters Orchestra Baobab release the long-awaited “Specialist In All Styles” on World Circuit in September 2002. This is the first album by the full group since 1982, and is the realisation of a long-term ambition for World Circuit.

Pirates Choice

Formed in the 1970’s Orchestra Baobab became hugely successful in Senegal and beyond for their innovative blend of Latin rhythms such as pachanga, salsa and cha cha cha blended with traditional African beats. Their popularity earned them the distinction of being the most pirated band in West Africa and Europe, giving rise to the title of this album, first released on World Circuit in 1989. The album captures an undiluted, soulful and mellow session where the musicians lay down rhythmic grooves and the distinctive voices of the various singers perform favourite Baobab songs.
