5.0 out of 5 stars Roots, March 17, 2003
This review is from: Baobab N'Wolof (Audio CD)
This album is amazing. This album shows why they have titled their most recent album "Speicalists in All Styles." There is still the Cuban sound in there somewhere, but it sounds more like something produced by lee perry. Their use of delay on the guitar is so innocent and amazing. Its a rough recording, but that makes it better once you get used to it. Track 3 and track 6 are unbeivable and worth the $... bucks right there. I love thier other stuff, but I cannot explain to you how cool this album is. It's for a hot summer night to just feel happy.

This review is from: Baobab N'Wolof (Audio CD)
If you miss the sounds of the Theis markets, a neighborhood baptism or afternoons sipping tea with your Senegalese friends, this is the CD for you. It will take you back to the sights and sounds of Senegal. Filled with traditional Wolof music it is an excellent choice.

4.0 out of 5 stars Early Senegalese grooves, played live in the old days..., December 14, 2001
This review is from: Baobab N'Wolof (Audio CD)
These live recordings from 1970-71 capture Orchestre Baobab playing at the very venue in Senegal that they took their name from. The sound quality is slightly rougher than their later studio albums, but the songs are great nonetheless -- these guys were an impressive ensemble! The raggedy vocals, sung in the urban Wolof dialect, may be too shrill for some listeners, but the musical grooves are quite nice. On a couple of tracks, the guitars go wild, soaring into psychedelic heights; mostly, though, this is mellow, beautiful material. I'd recommend their studio work first, but this ain't bad.
