      Africa 45, number 6, an Orchestra Baobab double A-side:

      Orchestra Baobab formed in Dakar in the early 1970’s. They fused Latin and African influences to create a unique sound and quickly became extremely popular. Many of the original members of the group were veterans of the well known ‘Star Band’.

      By the end of the 1970s they were hailed as the best band in Senegal and perhaps even the whole of Africa, playing most nights of the week and constantly in demand.

      The band still release - on labels including World Circuit - and tour extensively.
