Orchestra Baobab
Known for their spellbinding live shows, Orchestra Baobab promise to captivate you with their hypnotic groove, raw energy and timeless magic in this rare performance at Snape Maltings.
The ultimate masters of a smooth cosmopolitan fusion that came to define the 1970s, the group have continuously reinvented themselves over the years, forging a unique style that blends Latin rhythms, soaring Wolof vocals and jazz-influenced guitar lines. Tonight’s concert showcases music from their new album Made in Senegal, a release which proves their continuing relevance as a cornerstone of African music.
