A LEGEND OF AFRICAN MUSIC Founded in 1970 in Dakar, Orchestra Baobab is more than just a band—itis an institution, a cornerstone of African music. Initially a club formationinspired by the Afro-Cuban fever that swept through West Africa, Baobabquickly forged a unique style, blending Mandinka, Wolof, and Serersounds with Latin rhythms and timeless elegance. From their first goldenera to their remarkable resurgence in the early 2000s, led by Nick Gold(Buena Vista Social Club), the band has continuously reinvented its legacy,captivating each generation with its hypnotic groove.A SPRING FILLED WITH LIVE MUSICBefore unveiling their highly anticipated new album, Orchestra Baobabtreats its audience to a taste of what’s to come with the release of anexclusive live EP in April. Recorded during recent performances, this EPcaptures the raw energy and timeless magic of the band on stage—avibrant testament to their influence and virtuosity.THE ALBUM MADE IN SÉNÉGAL: A JOURNEY THROUGH TIMEAND REGIONSSeven years of waiting—an eternity. But Orchestra Baobab never returnswithout reason. Made In Sénégal, set for release in October 2025, is morethan just an album; it is a loveletter to Senegal, to its roots, and its musicalfuture.Always balancing tradition and modernity, Baobab’s strings and brassresonate with the rhythms of an entire nation. From Casamance to Fouta,from Dakar to Saint-Louis, each track explores a different facet ofSenegalese musical heritage. Baaba Maal, a living legend of the Fulanipeople, lends his voice to a powerful tribute. Akon, a child of the diaspora, makes his mark on a striking track. And Wally Seck, heir to the greatThione, embodies the bridge between generations.A TRILOGY, A HORIZONMade In Sénégal is the second chapter of an ambitious musical journey,following Made In Dakar. The adventure will culminate with Made InAfrica, bringing together the great figures of African music. A long-termodyssey, driven by a band that has never stopped reinventing its legacy.THE GRAND RETURNFrom the intimate clubs of Dakar to the world’s biggest stages, OrchestraBaobab has seen and lived it all. But this new album—blending swayingrumba, Mandinka sounds, and Afro-Cuban echoes—reminds us of oneessential truth: their music is eternal.See you in 2025 for a deep dive into the soul of Senegal.
