		Baobab exploded onto the Dakar scene in 1970 and immediately became the top local band, famous for their sublime and sophisticated arrangements, lyrical vocals and dazzling guitar solos.
		Fortunately for Baobab, however, the UK label World Circuit released (in 1989) a much acclaimed album, aptly titled Pirates Choice, with some tracks the group had first recorded in 1982, opening with the sultry piece “Utrus horas.” With this, Orchestre Baobab were launched around the world.
		The baobab is one of the most emblematic and majestic trees of the African savannah.

	BBC NEWS \| World \| Africa \| Senegal's supergroup bounces back
		At every concert there has been a standing ovation, a packed audience and an emotional performance by a group of veteran musicians who thought that their hey days were well in the past.
		Generations of Senegalese were raised on the creative fusion of the Orchestra's West African griot singing and Latin rumba tunes, their multilingual repertoire of songs in French, Spanish and local African languages, the captivating sounds of Issa Cissoko's saxophone and elaborate solos of Barthelemy Attisso's guitar.
		Baobab's US tour is drawing to an end, but still ahead is a tour of Europe and a new album "Orchestra Baobab: Specialists in all Styles" that will be released in September.

	Frank Bessem's Musiques d'Afrique: Orchestre Baobab
		Created in 1970 to inaugurate the Baobab nightclub, several members were recruted from the Star Band, the oldest band in Senegal, established in 1960 during the independence days.
		Laye M'Boup was replaced by Thione Seck who was responsible of one of Baobab's biggest hits ever, Mohamadou Bamba (1980).
		Their biggest hits were in the 1970s, the LP Ken Dou Werente, reissued on CD as Pirates Choice was the last album of Baobab in its original composition.

	Synchronicity
		So I was very, very happy to find Orchestre Baobab playing live on my doorstep for the first time in nearly 17 years, with almost the original lineup.
		Alongside the griot singers and Baobab and topping the bill was Viviane N'Dour, while in the foyer a dj and rappers performed.
		All they needed to do was run through a whole heap of their old classic tunes like the sensuous "Coumba," "Utru Horas" and "Werente Serigne." The luxuriant gentle polyrhythms of "Ray Mbele" rolled out and everyone was happy, the electricity in the hall binding all the human molecules together for a common love experience.

	Amazon.ca: Roots & Fruit: Music: Orchestre Baobab (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		The strength of the collection is the wonderful orchestrations in the early Baobab songs (tracks 1-7), with many of the musicians that Baobab fans love to hear (like Medoune Diallo, N'Diouga Dieng, Mountaga Kouyaté, Charly N'Diaye and Issa Cissokho).
		They do a so-so remake of the Baobab classic "Tante Marie," available in the (presumably) original version on the album "On Verra Ça!".
		For home listening, this is the inferior part of the album: the arrangements are thinner, the recordings sound as if they were pasted together in post-production, and the melodies suffer a bit from a drum machine and a general automated sound.

		I love how each member of Orchestre Baobab has a completely distinct personality, and their play these days is super-tight.
		Bembeya, though not as charismatic as Baobab, were musically amazing and by the end of their set were really rocking out.
		The Orchestre Baobab track is off their classic early 80s album, Bamba.

	Orchestre Baobab - N'Wolof @ Soundbug
		Recorded in live sessions (without an audience) in the Baobab club in Dakar, the pieces run the gamut from rumba-driven dance tunes to some of the weirdest, underwater-sounding soul psychedelia ever to emerge from Africa.
		It may have taken these recordings almost three decades to reach a wider audience, but they are destined to be remembered as classics of African's golden age of pop.
		These live recordings from 1970-71 capture Orchestre Baobab playing at the very venue in Senegal that they took their name from.

		Far from being sterile government mouthpieces, bands such as Bembeya Jazz (from Guinea) and Orchestre Rail Band de Bamako (from Mali) retained their irreverent humour while projecting the optimism and pride of the period.
		A young Salif Keita was recruited, along with the rest of Orchestre Rail Band De Bamako, to play at the Hotel and Buffet Bar of Bamako Railway Station.

		Forget about pristine sound quality when you listen to N'wolof.
		Recorded in 1970-1971 at the Baobab Club in Dakar that gave the group its name, this is Senegalese music being recorded live and au naturel in its infant stage.
		It's the only Orchestra Baobab album featuring original lead singer Laye M'boup, who died in a car accident in 1974, but the rest of the lineup features virtually the entire band that was a major force in Senegalese music for the next 15 years.
