Our Take

Orchestra Baobab's latest offering, 'Made In Dakar', is a delightful fusion of Afro-Cuban rhythms, Senegalese melodies, and downright infectious grooves. With more twists and turns than a rollercoaster ride, this album is an absolute whirlwind of musical genius.

From the moment the first track kicks in, you know you're in for a wild ride. The impeccable musicianship displayed throughout the album is nothing short of awe-inspiring. The interplay between the brass section and the rhythm section is a sight to behold, with each member of the band bringing their A-game to the table.

The standout track has to be 'Foulo', a toe-tapping, hip-shaking masterpiece that will have you grooving in your seat from start to finish. The infectious energy of the song is impossible to resist, making it an instant classic in the Orchestra Baobab catalogue.

But it's not all about the party vibes - there are moments of tender reflection sprinkled throughout the album, showing the band's versatility and emotional depth. Tracks like 'La La La' and 'Woulinewa' showcase the band's softer side, proving that they're not afraid to wear their hearts on their sleeves.

Overall, 'Made In Dakar' is a triumph for Orchestra Baobab, solidifying their status as one of the most exciting and innovative bands in the world music scene. Do yourself a favour and give this album a listen - you won't be disappointed.
