Orchestra Baobab
Senegalese band Orchestra Baobab is one of the pioneers of Afro pop and they have impacted many artists to come, like Youssou N’Dour and Baaba Maal. Their new album, "Made in Dakar" has new songs, as well as a collection of pieces from the band's 20 records, some of which were only available on tapes. Guitarist Latfi Benjeloun joins us as the band lands in town for their summer tour.
Orchestra Baobob performs tonight at 7pm at Rockefeller Park as part of the River to River Festival, and tomorrow at noon at the BAM Rhythm & Blues Festival at MetroTech.
