They’ve performed Coachella, WOMAD AU, Jazz at Lincoln Center, The Sydney Opera House and Carnegie Hall. The documentary film Brothers Hypnotic, explores their music, work ethic, life and experience of being raised by their jazz legend father Phil Cohran. After screening in major cities and festivals, it aired on PBS. Their song, “War” was featured in the blockbuster hit movie, Hunger Games.
Orchestra Baobab
Orchestra Baobab, founded in 1970 in Dakar, is a legendary band and a pillar of African music; originally inspired by Afro-Cuban rhythms, they developed a distinctive sound fusing Mandinka, Wolof, and Serer traditions with Latin influences.
After a golden era and a celebrated revival in the 2000s, the band continues to evolve, and in April 2025, they released a live EP capturing the raw energy of recent performances, offering a preview of their upcoming album Made In Sénégal (out October 2025), a tribute to Senegal’s rich musical landscape, featuring regional sounds from Casamance to Saint-Louis and a special collaboration with Baaba Maal. It’s the second in a trilogy—following Made In Dakar and to be completed by Made In Africa—celebrating African music’s past, present, and future.
