Orchestra Baobab
July 3, 2008
Orchestra Baobab are Africa's soul survivors, a great iconic band who have come through nearly four decades of dramas and disruptions with their classic 1970s line-up largely intact and their uniquely diverse cocktail of styles and influences sounding as fresh and relevant as ever. In 2001, (after a 16 year hiatus) the Senegalese band returned to recording and performing. They established themselves as one of the world's most enduringly popular live acts and earning unanimous critical acclaim - along with two Radio 3 Awards and a Grammy nomination - for 'Specialist in All Styles'. Recently, Orchestra Baobab made their return to the club scene in their home town Dakar - an experience that has fed directly into their new album. Combining the gritty lo-fi feel of their early recordings with dynamic new arrangements that reflect the realities of the Senegalese capital today, this is an album that could only have been Made in Dakar.
