This is the latest chapter in one of the world’s most heart-warming musical stories – the saga of a group of musicians who have wowed audiences in stadiums, festivals and concert halls around the world, but who have retained the warmth, the spontaneity & essential humanity of the truly local band.

In 2004, following their international success, Africa’s perfect pop group took up residency in a Dakar club for the fi rst time in nearly twenty years.

Westernmost city on the African continent, former capital of France’s vast West African empire, Dakar – like New Orleans, Havana or London – is one of the world’s great musical port cities, where African, European, Islamic and Latin American infl uences meet in one seething multi-cultural melting pot.

At these sessions they began developing material for ‘Made in Dakar’, a beautifully recorded album that takes them back to the vitality of the clubs and streets of their home town. ‘Made in Dakar’ presents a string of beautifully crafted new songs alongside reworked gems from their extensive discography.
