Our Take

Orchestra Baobab, the Senegalese musical collective that has been grooving since the 1970s, have made a triumphant return with their album "Specialist In All Styles". And let me tell you, this album is like a delicious musical gumbo - a melting pot of Afro-Cuban rhythms, jazzy horns, and haunting vocals that will transport you straight to a balmy night in West Africa.

From the opening track "Bul Ma Miin" to the closing notes of "Werente Serigne", Orchestra Baobab effortlessly blend traditional African sounds with a modern sensibility, creating a sound that is at once familiar and fresh. The musicianship on display here is truly top-notch, with each member of the band shining in their own right while still coming together to create a cohesive, infectious groove.

But what really sets this album apart is the sheer joy and exuberance that permeates every note. Whether you're dancing along to the infectious rhythms of "Ndiawol", or getting lost in the haunting melodies of "Jiin Ma Jiin Ma", you can't help but be swept away by the sheer passion and energy of Orchestra Baobab.

In conclusion, "Specialist In All Styles" is a reminder of the power of music to transcend boundaries and bring people together. So put on your dancing shoes, grab a glass of something cold and bubbly, and let Orchestra Baobab transport you to a world of rhythm, melody, and pure musical magic. Trust me, you won't regret it.
