Drum heavy, mid tempo afro funk workout, with serious horn and guitar sections in full effect, backed with a chorus of vocals.Taken from their ‘Visage Du Senegaal - Vol. 6’ released in 1975 and reissued by Mr Bongo in 2015 as part of their Africa45 series. Now finding fresh life as part of the 'Black Rabbit' soundtrack. An absolute classic.

This is just too damn funky, very limited stock.

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.
