Bembeya Jazz live

For a change, only photos. Of Bembeya Jazz performing in the Melkweg, Amsterdam, yesterday.
As a Guinean living in the Netherlands commented: "They're better than Baobab".

Baobab make different music. And Baobab was reunioned much later for the european public. - I read once they passed the time in the 70s when the music changed in Senegal.

I saw Bembeya Jazz once in Liège (B), was very nice, but at the end you could feel it was refurbished music... I wish to have seen them 20 years ago in Amsterdam.
