World Music: Baaba Maal, "Television"
(Senegal) The first time we saw this video we wondered "where's Baaba?" Yes, he's definitely there, but in a collaboration that takes him far from his usual turf. "Television" the CD was a truly international venture with seeds sown in London, New York and Dakar, the Senegalese capital. Baaba Maal worked on its eight songs with various musicians, but most specifically in a collaboration throughout the recording with singer Sabina Sciubba and keyboardist Didi Gutman, both members of New York's "Brazilian Girls" and known mostly for their eclectic electronica. As such the video is a fairly straightforward visualization of all these elements, and a treat for the eyes.
