7 p.m. / UCSB Campbell Hall
“Long recognized as one of Africa’s greatest singers.”
—Los Angeles Times
With dazzling sophistication and verve, this spectacular Afro-pop singer from Senegal returns with his spellbinding blend of traditional African sounds and contemporary influences. In 1997, Campbell Hall audiences witnessed Baaba Maal in a simmering live performance with his band Daande Lenol. Now, backed by an acoustic band, we have a chance to experience his laid-back intensity and ingenious grooves in a powerful, intimate performance that conveys the pure, vital energy of African music.
