The Arabian legend of the baobab is that "the devil plucked up the baobab, thrust its branches into the earth and left its roots in the air".

thanks again matt
Oh thanks, I like Ochsetre Baobab.
I just have 5 cds from them.
When the music changed begin 70's from afrocuban to mbalax, the band came into oblivion.
Thanks Matt.
Just fantastic.
I grew up in eastern Africa and the legend there states that baobabs used to walk around a lot. Eventually some great spirit got sick of their peregrinations and turned them upside down so they'd have to stay put.
thx:) had this one, and was askig myself who wad playing in this mighty club... so it's baobab, all clears up.
