Back in 2017 I posted a couple of tracks from Orchestra Baobab's then-new album Tribute To Ndiouga Dieng. Since then the 2002 album - Specialist In All Styles - from the Senegalese dance band has been released on vinyl as a 50th Anniversary tribute.
The band's website describes the album:
"Revitalised by their spectacular 2001 comeback and a highly successful world tour, Senegal's legendary Orchestra Baobab release their first new recordings together for nearly twenty years. Produced by Youssou N'Dour with World Circuit's Nick Gold, 'Specialist In All Styles' is driven by an infallible groove, standout vocal performances and - in Barthelemy Attisso - one of Africa's best guitarists. Featuring guest contributions from Cuban superstar Ibrahim Ferrer and N'Dour himself, the album is infused with an infectious sense of enjoyment and a wealth of experience summarised best by its title."
As usual the band's record label, World Circuit, has packaged the album beautifully - click on the scans below to enlarge, and enjoy On Verra Ça, and Hommage A Tonton Ferrer . . . .
