ORCHESTRA BAOBAB - TRIBUTE TO NDIOUGA DIENG

Released 2017 Masters of Senegalese pop and mbalax, Cuban rhumbas, American jazz, and more during their heyday, their return in the 21st century was a welcome one. They were lauded as heroes, having the likes of Youssou N’Dour and Buena Vista All-Stars’ Ibrahim Ferrer lend their voices to the group’s comeback album—not to mention Dave Matthews and Trey Anastasio making a documentary about their pilgrimage to Africa to jam with them. Ten years after their last album, 2007’s Made in Dakar, Baobab returns with a tribute to the group’s longtime griot Ndiouga Dieng, who passed away late last year.
