If you have never heard the Orchestra Baobab then make sure that you do. Their sound is soft, melodic, joyous west African music at its best. This, their earliest available recording is absolutely phenomenal. Less polished than subsequent discs it more than makes up for this with a freshness and lilting ebullience that is impossible to resist. The sound quality is perhaps not the best but this is totally unimportant when confronted with one of the most beautiful, rapturous records that you will ever have the privilege of hearing.

8.Pirate's Choice: The Legendary 1982 Session by: Orchestra Baobab January 08, 2002
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £12.95
Back when Cuba influenced the West Coast of Africa these marvellous moments were captured. Thank God. This music transcends every day music. Listening to this music transcends everyday life. The guitarist is very, very special. This is an unusual collection of songs which deserves to be listened to forever. I can hear the yearning, accusation and regret in the singer's voice while listening to "Coumba". I don't need to understand the words.

The snaking guitar and meandering trumpet introduce the sad sounding lyric to the delicate opening track,"utra horas." You immediately know you´re listening to something very special. The upbeat,"ledi Ndie M´boj," follows with it´s sprightly rhythms. This group have a stunning range and work brilliantly in tandem together. What strikes you is their harmony as musicians and the huge range of styles. For a start the singing is in a patois of French, Spanish and african languages. My favourite has to be the fourth track with it´s flowing trumpet and driving guitar, I love the bassy solo. Things cool off a little bit on the second CD but the group showcase their more subtle side. This is a record to uplift ... Read More:

10.Pirates Choice by: Orchestre Baobab May 01, 1990
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price:
When that horrible term "World Music" first came to prominance this was one of the big popular items, and here it is back on CD. The orchestra are a Senegalese outfit who play African music with a cuban feel. They Rhumba gently and gently uplift you. (Sounds more like a plug for a bra than a band!) The album is called Pirates Choice because this stuff was so popular when it came out that it was ripped of right and left. This is a very welcome re-release for anyone who likes their African music to swing.
