Orchestra Baobab

Orchestra Baobab are one of Africa’s great iconic bands, creators of one of the world’s most sublime and truly distinctive pop sounds. Founded in 1970, Orchestra Baobab fused Afro-Cuban rhythm and Portuguese Creole melody with Congolese rumba, high life and a whole gamut of local styles – kickstarting a musical renaissance in their native Senegal, which turned the capital Dakar into one of the world’s most vibrant musical cities. Higher Ground was pleased to welcome the 12 piece Senegalese Band The Orchestra Baobab who performed on Sunday, June 29, 2008 at the Barrymore Theatre in Madison, Wisconsin.
