ORCHESTRA BAOBAB – RARE DEMO + AUTUMN TOUR!

GUAJIRA VEN (DEMO) - OUT NOW!

To coincide with Baobab's European tour this autumn, World Circuit are releasing a slice of old school Afro-Latin magic from Orchestra Baobab recorded in Dakar, Senegal in 2007. Originally an old Cuban son, Baobab’s demo of 'Guajira Ven' was inspired by a recording by Duo Los Ahijados, a band from Dominican Republic that featured the brothers Cuco and Martin Valoy (listen here). Cuban music was hugely popular in

Senegal in the 60’s and early 70’s and many bands would feature Cuban songs in their repertoire, the lyrics often sung phonetically.
