Orchestra Baobab - Cabral

Baobab tree in Kimasso, Mali, 1996.

Cabral by Orchestra Baobab.

This track, from their new album Made in Dakar, features the spare guitar playing of West African legend (and Super Rail Band alumnus) Barthélemy Attisso, who apparently works as an attorney by day. Maybe there's hope for all us lawyers...

A new album by an old favorite. We have both been lucky enough to see this band live before their return to Senegal to play a standing gig Saturday nights at the Just 4 U Club in Dakar. Until we have the chance to visit, we'll just have to content ourselves with recordings (sigh).
