This CD edition collects two Baobab albums from 1980-81. Classic hypnotic grooves that creep up on you and bring a sense of wonder and elation.
The rockin' side of Orchestra Baobab dominates "Bamba", which combines the Senegalese group's "Mouhamadou Bamba" and "Sibou Odia" albums from 1980 and 1981.
"Bamba" is simply a great album and the perfect place for rock-oriented listeners to enter the world of Orchestra Baobab...or the whole realm of West African pop music, for that matter.
A definite must-have.
