Baaba Maal
Senegalese pop star Baaba Maal is a music ambassador of many causes: poverty, AIDS, religious tolerance, and the culture of the Fulani people. He is also an ambassador of music mixes, and has often combined traditional West African sounds with pop, reggae and even hip-hop. On his latest album, Television, he teamed up with members of the New York-based band Brazilian Girls. He joins us for a live performance.

Baba Maal: Thanks for the beautiful song this afternoon. It totally made my day, and I am immediately going to get this long awaited album. And looking forward to a live show--I hope yoy are giving one in New York area soon.
Hi John and the rest of the WNYC music programming staff: Thanks for bringing Baaba Maal to your studio. It's unfortunate that in a "cosmopolitan' and mosaic of a city like NYC, you don't play his music more often. Why does does it always take another "American" music group collaboration to hear musician like him on your airwaves. Now, I'm sure John has known the music of Baaba Maal and the myriad of causes he sings about for many years, but you still introduce him to your audience as if you just discovered him... that's because you need to play his music and others like him more often.
Very refreshing. Thanks!
Sounds like my Andy Palacio & The Garifuna Collective CD
