Free Music Notes for Pirates Choice

Free Music Review: SENEGALESE POP
Hit: 5 Stars

THIS IS A GREAT CD OF MUSIC FROM ORCHESTRA BAOBAB, A FAMOUS BAND IN SENEGAL, WHICH WAS ORIGINALLY RELEASED IN 1982, BUT THIS 2 CD SET INCLUDES MORE SONGS (SIX OF THEM)THAN THE ORIGINAL ALBUM CONTAINED. THE SONGS BLEND WEST AFRICAN, LATIN, AND JAZZ SOUNDS TOGETHER AND IT WORKS REALLY WELL. VERY LIGHT, BREEZY AND MELODIOUS SONGS, SUNG IN THE WOLOF OR ELSE IN THE MANDINKA LANGUAGE. BARTHELEMY ATTISSO IS A PRETTY FINE GUITAR PLAYER

Pirates Choice Poster

For people who know their Senegalese music, Orchestra Baobab's Pirates Choice is the Holy Grail. By the time this music was recorded to four-track in 1982, the immensely popular band had been playing nightly for years at a Dakar club called Baobab. But legendary status in Senegal didn't help the musicians get wider attention--the album wasn't released in Europe until 1987, and it only now comes to the U.S. for the first time. Latin music was popular in Dakar, a port city, and the band mixed various strains of Latin music with different African music styles to create uniformly stunning results not all that different from Afro-Cuban music. The French vocals are lovely, and the powerful mix of African and Latin percussion is undeniable--but keep a particular ear out for guitarist Barthelemy Attisso, whose tasteful leads float over the top. The original six-track album is hard to pass up, but this reissue contains a second disk with six unreleased songs from the same session, making this a must-have. --Tad Hendrickson
