Baaba Maal
Born in the Senegalese region of Fouta, Baaba Maal has imposed himself as one of Africa’s greatest contemporary singers. Despite not being part of the griot caste, Maal was able to impose himself thanks to a unique voice and a remarkable grasp of his nation’s treasure trove of music. He was signed up by Chris Blackwell for Palm Pictures and has over a dozen international releases to his name, the latest being the 2006 album Kettode & Sangoul.
