Baaba Maal April 27, 2010

Renowned for his fiery performances, Senegalese world music giant Baaba Maal's unique blend of traditional West African song, Senegalese pop, reggae, and dance has established him as a seminal artist in his field. An explosion of sound, singing and dancing, his intense and awe-inspiring stage shows and his spine-tingling vocals have inspired devotion around the world for nearly two decades.

A man with a mission that extends beyond his music, he is committed to the concerns of families, young people and the future of Africa and serves as Youth Emissary for the United Nations’ Development Program.

"...hypnotic...uplifting and visceral..."
