About

Five years on from the best-selling `Specialist in All Styles', Orchestra Baobab return with `Made in Dakar', an album that celebrates the band's roots in one of the world's most explosive musical cities - which updates their classic mellow sound with a new edge and a new energy for new times. Orchestra Baobab are Africa's soul survivors, a great iconic band who have survived with their classic 1970s line-up largely intact and their uniquely diverse cocktail of styles and influences sounding as fresh and relevant as ever. In 2001, the Senegalese band returned to recording and performing after a 16 year career hiatus, establishing themselves as one of the world's most enduringly popular live acts and earning unanimous critical acclaim - along with two Radio 3 Awards and a Grammy nomination - for `Specialist in All Styles'. Recently, Orchestra Baobab made their return to the club scene in their home town Dakar - an experience that has fed directly into their new album. Combining the gritty lo-fi feel of their early recordings with dynamic new arrangements that reflect the realities of the Senegalese capital today, this is an album that could only have been Made in Dakar. `Made in Dakar' unveils a string of beautifully crafted new songs together with reworked gems from their 20 album discography. It is the latest chapter in one of the world's most heart-warming musical stories - the saga of a group of musicians who have wowed audiences in stadiums, festivals and concert halls around the world, but who have retained the warmth, the spontaneity & essential humanity of the truly local band. Personnel: Balla Sidibe - (vocals, timbales, drums), Rudy Gomis - (vocals, maracas, clave), Ndiouga Dieng - (vocals, congas), Medoune Diallo - (vocals), Assane Mboup - (vocals), Barthélemy Attisso - (lead guitar, chef d'orchestre), Latfi Benjeloun - (rhythm guitar), Issa Cissoko - (tenor sax, alto sax), Thierno Koite - (alto sax), Charlie Ndiaye - (bass), Mountaga Koite - (congas, drums) Special guests: Youssou Ndour - (vocals `Nijaay'), Ibou Konate - (trumpet), Sanou Diouf - (tenor sax 'Beni Baraale'), Baba Nabe - (rhythm guitar 'Beni Baraale'), Jesus "Aguaje" Ramos - (trombone), Thio Mbaye - (sabar drums), Assane Thiam - (tama talking drum)
