Legendary Senegalese band's new recording drops
by editors@theworld.org (Marco Werman) from The World: Latest Stories on (#79BWD)
The legendary Senegalese big band Orchestra Baobab has undergone many personnel changes since its founding in the 1960s, but it carries on the sound its members formulated years ago - a mix of Latin styles, Senegalese percussion and lyrics in French, Wolof and Portuguese slang from neighboring Cape Verde. They have a new recording that came out last week, "Made in Senegal," and we take a listen with Host Marco Werman.
