Info
On March 24, 2027 in Glasgow, Orchestra Baobab brings its Dakar-bred groove to the stage, drawing from the band’s deep roots in the city’s nightlife. Formed in the early 1970s as the resident group at Club Baobab and sparked by musicians coming out of the legendary Star Band, the collective shaped a sound where Afro-Cuban rumba meets Wolof rhythms, Mandingue lines and touches of Afro-Portuguese song.
Expect interlaced guitars, warm brass, and vocals that switch languages with ease, moving between Wolof, Bambara and Creole while keeping the dance-floor pulse front and center. After a long break in the mid-1980s, the band’s comeback—boosted by the renewed attention around Pirate’s Choice and later recordings like Specialist in All Styles—put them back on the international circuit. This Glasgow date taps into that live tradition: a seasoned orchestra built for long, flowing sets, where elegance and swing travel straight from Dakar to the room.
