Blending African roots and contemporary electronic influences, the Sengalese singer and guitarist is a born musical traveller.
Baaba Maal belongs to the semi-nomadic Fulani people, and, for him, travel and music are inextricable.
He began his journey as a musician with long-time friend Mansour Seck, releasing desert blues classic Djam Leelii in 1989, in the first of many notable collaborations of his career.
More recently, Maal worked on the Black Panther soundtrack with composer Ludwig Göransson, performing the song ‘Wakanda’.
His 2016 album The Traveller opens with the raucous ‘Fulani Rock’, underpinned by dark throbbing drums, intricate guitars and Maal’s distinctive vocal soaring overhead.
