BAABA MAAL ANNOUNCES SUMMER TOUR DATES!

=20

In the midst of a US tour that has brought audiences to their feet
across the country, Baaba Maal has announced initial June tour dates
including a set at Bonnaroo (TN) and the Sierra Nevada World Music
Festival (CA) and special shows at the Hollywood Bowl (CA) and Central
Park Summerstage (NY). Baaba Maal's current North American tour, which
kicked off on April 6th in Toronto, ON, is the legendary Senegalese
musician's first US tour in four years. Baaba and his band have been
welcomed back with open arms, with audience members dancing in the
aisles and filling formal concert halls with wild celebration. Stay
tuned for more summer dates to be announced.=20

=20

Baaba Maal's most recent album, Television, is a collaboration primarily
with singer Sabina Sciubba and keyboardist
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Musical_keyboard>  Didi Gutman, both
members of New York's Brazilian Girls. The result is a stunningly
beautiful and diverse record that meshes two genres, generally
unfamiliar to each other, to produce an eclectic and romantic sound. The
enigmatically named title-track refers to a relatively recent phenomenon
in Africa - ubiquitous TV screens. "The television set is like a
stranger you didn't ask for coming into your living-room," explains
Baaba. "You don't care about who he is: he just seems to come from
nowhere and gives you information."

Baaba Maal is a man whose mission extends beyond his music.  He is
committed to the concerns of families, young people and the future of
the African continent, as is reflected in his role as Youth Emissary for
the United Nations' Development Programme. He is also actively involved
in the "Africa Express" project, which he co-founded with Damon Albarn
(http://www.africaexpress.co.uk/). This past Fall, Baaba Maal made a
string of special appearances in the states billed as "In Conversation
with Baaba Maal," which offered the unique opportunity to hear him speak
about contemporary African society and to gain an insight into some of
the most pressing issues as he sees them.=20

Praise for Baaba Maal's Spring 2010 Tour:=20

=20

"One of the most high-energy and affirmative concerts of the season." -
Santa Barbara News Press=20

=20

"Baaba Maal didn't need to sing in English to engage an astounded
Michigan Theater audience on Saturday. And the crowd had no trouble
letting the Senegalese singer know they were behind him all the way.
Maal sang in the universal language of joy and it was infectious." - Ann
Arbor.com=20

=20

"The night was truly a collaborative event. The rhythms of the evening
were almost always accompanied by audience claps and enhanced by
countless drum solos and lap-tapping beats that made a two-hour show fly
by." - Daily Californian=20
