About

Orchestra Baobab are one of West Africa’s greatest bands.

A 10-piece ensemble who first emerged from the heart of the medina in Senegal’s bustling capital, Dakar, in the 1960s, Baobab’s combination of Afro-Cuban, West African griot and international pop stylings have won them legions of fans across the globe for half a century.

Orchestra Baobab, who have been described by some as an African version of Cuba’s Bueno Vista Social Club, still play with the verve, energy and exuberance that have served them so well for half a century.
