Orchestra Baobab @ Rockefeller Park, NYC - pics
photos by Fresh Bread
Orchestra Baobab played their first of two free NYC shows at Rockefeller Park (part of the River to River festival) last night (June 25th). Their next show is today in Metrotech at noon. More pictures from yesterday below....
Senegalese band Orchestra Baobab is one of the pioneers of Afro pop and they have impacted many artists to come, like Youssou N'Dour and Baaba Maal. Their new album, "Made in Dakar" has new songs, as well as a collection of pieces from the band's 20 records, some of which were only available on tapes. [WNYC]

Great concert, perfect day. Good to see a big crowd at the show, they deserve it.
Concerning the pictures: I don't know who Fresh Bread is, but there was one female photographer that was absolutely annoying. She would get on stage, WITH THE BAND, during their performance! She would zip around on stage, in between the band members, while they were playing. She had a schoolgirl grin the entire time, she probably was thinking "tee hee, look at me!". People came to see the band, not her. It was very offensive on her part. She probably thought this band were nobodies so no one would mind if she was on stage.
