Orchestra Baobab - Sey

.........Orchestra Baobab started as a house band in 1970, playing on weekends at a nightclub that opened that year in Dakar, the capital of Senegal. Called the Baobab Club, after a tree common to Senegal, its owner was a relative of the country's president. It quickly became the hottest nightclub in Dakar, catering to government officials and other dignitaries. Orchéstre Baobab, as it was then known, played a wide variety of styles ranging from R&B, rock, tango, and paso doble to Afro-Cuban, Wolof griot (Senegalese storytelling), Congolese, and Ghanaian music.

Originally a seven-piece band, Orchestra Baobab was founded by Baro N'Diaye, a saxophone player. Three of the band's original members were formerly part of the Star Band ...........
