Albums by Star Band de Dakar
Artist Biography
The Star Band de Dakar was formed in 1960 to celebrate the independence of Senegal, but not only did it see the birth of a country, it also ushered in a new wave of local bands who played Cuban dance music. The Star Band -- not to be confused with the Etoile de Dakar to which it gave birth -- has seen many great musicians join its ranks, most notably Youssou N'Dour. It is still going strong. ~ Leon Jackson
