Baaba Maal
April 20, 2010
It has been six years since Baaba Maal's last concert at Cal Performances, but for anyone present at that glorious celebration of song, the memory is unforgettable. A living legend in his native Senegal, Maal is known as "the Nightingale" for the stunning power and purity of his voice, and over the years, he has honed a unique sound fusing traditional African music with elements of reggae, pop, R&B, soul, jazz, and blues. Maal's dazzling live performances—featuring a panoply of singers, dancers, and drummers—are "spectacular...setting alight a blaze of polyrhythms that barely lets up for the next two hours" (The Independent, London).
