Orchestra Baobab am 25.11.2025 – Gretchen goes Metropol<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Eine der gr\u00f6\u00dften Bands Afrikas: Senegals Orchestra Baobab.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Das Orchestra Baobab ist eine au\u00dfergew\u00f6hnliche Gruppe von S\u00e4ngerinnen und Musiker<\/em>innen, die mit ihrer Mischung aus Afro-Latin-Stilen, internationalem Pop, westafrikanischer Griot-Musik und sanft beschwingten Rhythmen ein westafrikanisches Nachtclub-Ambiente erzeugen. Ihre Geschichte beginnt im Herzen der Medina von Dakar in den sp\u00e4ten 1960er Jahren und erstreckt sich \u00fcber die ganze Welt bis ins 21. Jahrhundert.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Die Band verdankt ihre Anf\u00e4nge Ibra Kass\u00e9, Clubbesitzer und Gr\u00fcnder der Star Band, der Mitte der 60er Jahre den Club Miami in Dakar zu einem ber\u00fcchtigten Treffpunkt machte. Die Band nahm neue Rhythmen aus der ganzen Welt auf \u2013 Musik, die aus Amerika, Europa und Kuba sowie aus Senegals westafrikanischen Nachbarn Ghana, Sierra Leone, Nigeria, Guinea und der Elfenbeink\u00fcste in das kosmopolitische Dakar str\u00f6mte. Diese eklektische Mischung aus lokalen und internationalen Rhythmen und Stilen floss sp\u00e4ter in die DNA von Baobab ein.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1970 er\u00f6ffnete dann der Club Baobab seine T\u00fcren. Die Betreiber warben die Star-Band-S\u00e4nger Balla Sidibe, Rudy Gomis und den Gitarristen Barthelemy Attisso ab. Der Bassist Charlie Ndiaye und der Perkussionist Mountaga Koite folgten bald, zusammen mit dem Rhythmusgitarristen Latfi Ben Jelloun, dem nigerianischen Klarinettisten Peter Udo und dem erfahrenen Griot-S\u00e4nger Laye Mboup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ab dem Zeitpunkt, gab das Orchestra Baobab das Tempo f\u00fcr eine neue \u00c4ra moderner senegalesischer und afrikanischer Musik vor. Mit einer Mischung aus Pop, Soul, Funk und traditioneller Musik aus dem ganzen Senegal und dar\u00fcber hinaus entwickelte das Orchestra Baobab einen unverwechselbaren Stil.
\u00dcber die Jahrzehnte hat sich die Besetzung von Baobab ver\u00e4ndert, mit traurigen Abg\u00e4ngen und aufregenden Neuzug\u00e4ngen. Unter der Leitung des gro\u00dfartigen Balla Sidib\u00e9 hat ihre von der Kritik gefeierte LP ‚Tribute to Ndiouga Dieng‘ aus dem Jahr 2017 alte Territorien erneut vermessen und neue beschritten.“
