Label/Supplier Notes

From 1970 to 1979, Orchestra Baobab cheered up the Baobab night club located in Dakar, Senegal, West Africa. Orchestra Baobab's music stands as the soundtrack of that period, known as the Senghor years, in reference to Senegal's former president. For most of the local elites & many tourists danced through all the seventies to Issa Cissokho's saxophone, Barthélemy Atisso's guitar, Medoune Diallo, Balla Sidibe & Thione Seck's voices. Gifted with a very unique sound personality, Orchestra Baobab revolutionized Senegalese popular music by leaving behind afro-cuban influences for good. The musicians developed a hybrid music fed by viola, Toucouleur, serer, Portuguese Creole and manlike saps. Orchestra Baobab's trademark has since been a polymorphic groove that blends together sweetness & swing, groove & salsa. Quite exotic to foreign ears, that groove sounds most familiar to lovers of African & African American music, an astonishing dance music with a surprising originality, spellbinding if you let yourself rock to it without thinking. These modern compositions, recorded in the 70s, prefigured what made Orchestra Baobab's recent worldwide success when they came back on stage in 2002 after a 15 years absence: A modern & loose dance music that lets soloists express themselves. A sweet & sensual sound deeply rooted in Senegalese musical traditions. Opened to global streams, at the crossroads of several Senegalese & under the inspiration of what was being done in the Black Americas, the Orchestra Baobab of the Senghor years still vibrates in this collection lost recordings (1972-1978).
