Orchestra Baobab were the house band at the Club Baobab in Dakar in the early 1970s, playing a mixture of Cuban son, Wolof griot music, and Afro-funk that became known as mbalax. Pirates Choice was recorded for radio broadcast — they never expected it to be released commercially. When it was, Dakar's music scene had already moved on and the band dissolved. They reunited in 2001 and made another album.
