Orchestra Baobab  Pirates Choice 

World Circuit 
2 LP set w/ download

The reissue of this 1982 classic -- so named because the album from
the Senegalese band was pirated all over West Africa -- is a thing of beauty,
especially considering a whole other album of six more tracks comes appended
 to the remastered original. So what makes it a classic and worthy of reissue
20 years on? It's all about the music, a marvelous mix of Cuban and
West African that stood at the crossroads before Senegal developed its trademark
m'balax sound. And so the rhythms are redolent of Cuba -- whose musical
 influence on West Africa extended back to the 1940s -- while other sounds,
like the tenor sax of Issa Cissoko, are pure Senegal with its thick Wolof influence.
Of particular note are the four vocalists, who sing in a mixture of Spanish and
Wolof. Some of the tunes themselves are reworkings of Cuban material, while
the wonderful "Utrus Horas" comes from Guinea Bissau, and "Soldadi" has its
 origins at home in Senegal. Both are given a slow, smoldering treatment, with
some spare, lovely guitar from Barthelemy Attisso. The additional tracks (originally
released on cassette in Senegal in 1982, but which have never seen the light
of day elsewhere) come from the same session, but explore slightly different
directions -- "Toumaranke" has a decidedly carnival atmosphere, although
its theme (sung in Mandinka) is homesickness, while "Balla Daffe" is something
of a percussion-fest. For many years this has been one of the treasured releases
of world music. Now it's back in print, and everyone can
understand why it's been so revered. ~ Chris Nickson, Rovi

We cushion the LP in bubble wrap and use shipping tape
