Biography
Orchestra Baobab, originally forming as the weekend house band at a Dakar club, quickly rose to become a prominent force in world music. Led by Baro N'Diaye, the band's fusion of Cuban and African influences, with a repertoire expanded by griot singer Laye M'Boup, garnered widespread acclaim, leading to regular performances and international recognition. Despite facing challenges and changes in personnel, Orchestra Baobab continued to evolve their sound, achieving success with acclaimed albums like Pirates Choice in the 1980s. However, the rise of new sounds in Senegal eventually led to the band disbanding in 1987.
In a remarkable comeback in 2001, Orchestra Baobab reformed and embarked on a successful global tour, releasing new albums and captivating audiences with their eclectic blend of musical styles. Even with various lineup changes and the passing of key members like Ndiouga Dieng and Balla Sidibé, the band persisted in creating new music and honoring their legacy. Collaborations with renowned artists and a dedication to their craft ensured that Orchestra Baobab's influence and significance in the world music scene remained strong.
