Orchestra Baobob
Thu, Jun 26 at 12noon - Metro Tech Commons

Senegal's Orchestra Baobob has become one of the
greatest world music bands, with influence extending
far beyond national boundaries. Fusing Afro-Cuban
rhythms and Portuguese Creole melodies with Congolese
rumba, high-life, and a whole gamut of local styles,
they helped turn the capital Dakar into one of the
world's most vibrant musical cities. With acclaimed
albums on Nonesuch Records produced by Youssou N’Dour,
including cameos by N'Dour and the great Buena Vista
crooner Ibrahim Ferrer, Orchestra Baobab has cemented
their renown as pan-African musical masters.
