Orchestra Baobab are masters of the African/Afro-Cuban fusion that dominated Senegal’s music scene in the Seventies. A fluid mixture of mellifluous guitar and delicious vocals, “Pirate’s Choice” was recorded in 1982 shortly before they disbanded, and originally released worldwide by World Circuit in 1989. The re-release of this essential record in 2001 prompted a full-scale reunion of the band and they are currently touring Europe and the US.

‘Pirates Choice’ by the Senegalese band Orchestra Baobab is one of those rarest of albums, an undisputed classic. Available on 180g 2LP for the very first time including 6 tracks previously unavailable on vinyl. “Entrancing, deeply funky Senegalese session from 1982 sees the light of day” Rolling Stone “One of the best World Music albums of 2002. An even better album than its legendary reputation suggested” Boston Herald
