CD SPECIALIST IN ALL STYLES

Description

In 2002, the legendary Senegalese ensemble Orchestra Baobab made a triumphant return with "Specialist in All Styles." This album celebrates their unique fusion of Afro-Cuban rhythms, Senegalese mbalax, and reggae. Recorded at London's Livingston Studios under the production of Nick Gold and Youssou N'Dour, it features both new compositions and reimagined versions of their classic hits. The album showcases compelling vocals, captivating guitar solos by Barthélemy Attisso, and atmospheric saxophone passages by Issa Cissokho, delivering an unforgettable listening experience. A highlight is the track "Hommage à Tonton Ferrer," featuring special guest appearances by Cuban star Ibrahim Ferrer and Youssou N'Dour. "Specialist in All Styles" stands as a testament to Orchestra Baobab's timeless appeal and their ability to resonate with audiences worldwide.
