// Orchestra Baobab
In their heyday considered one of the finest live bands in West Africa, Orchestra Baobab are to Senegal what the Buena Vista Social Club have been to Cuba: a repository of some of the country’s finest music traditions and a band resurrected after years of oblivion. Formed in 1970, the seven musicians have come to symbolise unity in this proud nation and, since 2001, they have seduced audiences worldwide. In 2007, they released a seminal album entirely recorded in their capital’s Xippi studios Made in Dakar. It was only their second since they were resurrected six years earlier.
