Orchestra Baobab - Pirates Choice '1982; 2001

Tracks list

Pirates Choice was recorded in two-track studios in one take - no overdubs, no
second thoughts - and done with such ease and effortlessness that it has become
truly a slice of history. First released on World Circuit in 1989, the album
captured the legendary Senegalese group Orchestra Baobab in one of their last
studio sessions in 1982. The album is an undiluted, soulful and mellow session
where the musicians laid down rhythmic grooves over favourite Baobab songs,
revealing the huge influence Cuban music had on them. This re-release is
remastered, repackaged and augmented with a second CD of 6 previously-unissued
bonus tracks. Personnel: Issa Cissako - (tenor saxophone), Barthelemy Attisso -
(lead guitar), Papa Ba - (rhythm guitar), Adama Sarr - (guitar), Charlie Antoine
NBiay - (bass), Balla Sidibe - (vocals, timbales), Radolphe Gomis, Nbjanga
Dieng, Medoune Diall, Mapenda Seck - (vocals), Mountaga Kouyate - (percussion,
tumba)
