# Event Details

- **Event Name**: Orchestra Baobab with Special Guest Mis Blandine
- **Event Start and End Date**: Thu, 02 Apr, 2026 at 07:00 pm (-04:00)
- **Event Description**: Known as West Africa’s greatest band, Senegal’s Orchestra Baobab bring their mix of Afro-Cuban style, international pop, traditional griot music, and mellifluous rhythms to Koerner Hall. Congolese rumba opens the night.

For 55 years, Orchestra Baobab has filled venues and festivals across the globe with dancing crowds. Their success story began in Dakar, where the group picked up Cuban styles like son and pachanga. Starting at Club Baobab, built around the iconic tree, the group travelled extensively through West Africa. All kinds of influences were integrated into the ‘Baobab sound’ and the band continues to make their sound more thrilling than ever with lively twists and energetic additions.

Through the years, Orchestra Baobab’s infectious sound has evolved, in part by collaborating with griots, traditional local storytellers. The result is a unique blend of age-old traditions and the electric guitars of African pop music. A collaboration with Senegalese star singer Youssou N’Dour at the beginning of this millennium gave the orchestra a boost and they have been touring the world ever since.

Singer/songwriter and percussionist Blandine Kaniki, winner of an African Entertainment Award 2015 as Best Female Voice, blends the soul of rhumba with urban music. The Congolese Canadian singer’s 2019 album L’Antidote featured a powerful collaboration with the legend of Congolese music Nyboma and lead guitarist Lokassa Ya M'Bongo.
