Star Band is a music group from Senegal that was the resident band of Dakar's Miami Club.[1][2] They, along with the many off-shoots of the band, are responsible for many of the crucial developments in Senegalese popular music.[3]They were formed in 1959 by the owner of the Miami Club, Ibra Kasse. As was typical in Africa at the time, Kasse owned the instruments and was the band leader of the Star Band although he only occasionally played piano. Each one of the band's twelve albums released in Senegal featured a photo of Kasse on the back cover stating that he was the band leader, composer and arranger.[4]
Formed to celebrate Senegal's independence in 1960, Kasse recruited members of other band including Guinea-Jazz and Tropical Jazz. The band has hosted many of Senegal's most influential musicians, Youssou N'Dour being the most notable, and gave birth to several splinter groups including Le Super Star de Dakar, Orchestra Baobab, Star Number One who considered themselves to be the original Star Band, and Etoile de Dakar.[5] Star Band singers Pape Seck and Laba Sosseh would later go on to sing with Africando.
Early History[edit]
Early members of the band included singer Amara Toure and saxophonist Mady Konate who were recruited from Tropical Jazz. They joined saxophonist Dexter Johnson, guitar-player Papa Diabate, bass-player Harisson, and trumpet-player Bob Armstrong who were from the then-defunct Guinea-Jazz. Other members included guitarist José Ramos, Mbousse Mbaye (maracas, guiro, vocals) and Lynx Tall (tumba, vocals). The vocalist Laba Sosseh would join soon afterward after requesting to be allowed to sing a song during one of the bands shows.[6][7]
Splinter Bands[edit]
As Ibra Kasse ruled the band with an iron hand, members of the Star Band often got into disagreements with him.[4] Through out the years, members of the Star Band would quit because they felt that Ibra Kasse was too much of a dictator as band leader.[8]One of the first major defections was when the Nigerian saxophonist Dexter Johnson left the band along with singer Laba Sosseh in 1964 to form Le Super Star de Dakar.[9]
In 1970, most of the younger members of the Star Band left to form Orchestra Baobab who were to serve as the house band for the newly opened Baobab club, a new club that was opened to compete with the Miami Club.[4] After several years as a top band in Dakar, Orchestra Baobab would eventually reform for an international career.
Star Number One[edit]
Many members of the Star Band left Ibra Kasse's control following a fight on Jan 7, 1976.[10] Members of the Star Band ran afoul of Ibra Kasse after the band agreed to appear, without consulting Kasse, at a memorial concert for Laye Mboup, a singer for Orchestra Baobab who was killed in a car crash the previous year.[11] Many members including noted guitarist Yahya Fall left Ibra Kasse's Miami club, creating a musical cooperative where all members were paid equally.[12] At first they called themselves Star Band Un to assert that they were the original Star Band but after Ibra Kasse got government officials to intervene the band chose the name Number One.[13] They used variants of this name over the course of their ten year career.
They became one of Dakar's leading bands, eventually becoming the resident band of Dakar's Jandeer Nightclub.[14] Over the course of 10 years together, Star Number One released at least nine LPs[15] and in the late 1970's were considered to be rivals to Orchestra Baobab and the Star Band for the hottest band in Dakar.[16]It is believed that they were the first Senegalese band to record in Paris and that they were the first Senegalese group with their own record label. Their success was so great that all of the singers drove their own Mercedes.[17]

Consisting of up to 15 members, the band had 5 singers: the salsa singers Papa Seck and Maguette Ndiaye, Doudou Sow who sang the Mbalax songs, Pape Djiby Ba who sang ballads, and Mar Seck whose style was broad, signing traditional Wolof material along with Afro-Latin material.[18] The group included Ali Penda N'Dioye, one of Senegal's best trumpet players, and the talented tama (percussion) player, Mamane Fall.[19] Another notable member is the guitarist Yahya Fall who guitar work stood out for both his use of effects and his style which could approach acid rock and psychedelia.[20][21] In 1978, the Star Band singer Mar Seck joined the band but later left to join Étoile de Dakar, returning to No. 1 de Dakar after Étoile de Dakar splintered.[22] After Pape Seck and Maguette Ndiaye served short stints as the first two band leaders, Yahya Fall took over the role for the final nine years of the bands existence.[23] Hostsman for mac os 7.
Final Defection[edit]

After the 1976 defections, Ibra Kasse was forced to hire several new musicians including the then 16 year-old Youssou N'Dour. However, by 1977, several of the members of the Star Band including Youssou N'Dour left to create their own band, Etoile de Dakar.[24]

Orchestra Baobab – Tribute to Ndiouga Dieng (2017)FLAC (tracks) 24-bit/96 kHz | Time – 42:42 minutes | 883 MB | Genre: World

Going ten years between albums is no big deal for Senegal’s Orchestra Baobab, whose integration of West African and Afro-Cuban styles made them a sensation in 1970. After cutting more than 20 albums between then and 1987, they split up for 15 years. They reunited for a tour in 2001, just as 1989’s classic Pirates Choice was reissued by World Circuit. They followed the tour with the killer set Specialist in All Styles, comprised of new material, a year later. (It was produced by Youssou N’Dour.) After more international touring, local residencies, and family commitments, it took another six years for Made in Dakar to materialize, but it was worth the wait. Any band with a 47-year history has seen changes; OB is no exception. These began in 1974 when their original Wolof singer Laye Mboup was killed in a car crash. The band’s two great Casamance vocalists, Balla Sidibe and Rudy Gomis, enlisted Ndiouga Dieng — the subject of this tribute — to fill his shoes. Dieng was an active member until his death in 2016. (He was replaced by his son for this recording.) Founding guitarist Barthelemy Attisso, from Togo, also left to pursue his law career full-time. Sidibe, Gomis, saxophonists Issa Cissoko and Thierno Koite, and longtime rhythm section — bassist Charlie Ndiaye and conguero Mountaga Koite — remain the core. (Sidibe also plays timbales.) New rhythm guitarist Yahya Fall (Etoile de Dakar) joins the section with Oumar Sow and Rene Sowatche. For the first time in their history, they have a kora player in Abdouleye Cissoko, and the trademark sax section gets a boost in the bottom end from new trombonist Wilfried Zinzou. This version of the band doesn’t burn so much as it simmers, and it’s a wonderful thing. On opener “Foulo,” the interplay between guitars and kora creates a gentle sway. The horns and percussion don’t strut, they slide. The Casamance vocalists glide over the top of the rhythm section, creating a great vibe for dancing or romancing. Following suit is the single “Fayinkounko,” with its R&B-styled horn lines, hypnotic percussion, and bubbling dubwise bass. The stringed instruments all trade places while painting the tune’s frame. “Natalia” is an Afro-Cuban son at heart, with sultry saxophone exchanges and punchy guitars and drums kissed by Cissoko’s bright kora to create contrast. Former Baobab member and African singing superstar Thione Seck rejoins the band in order to reprise his first hit with them in a smoking version of “Sey.” Likewise, Cheikh Lo also guests on “Magnokouto,” a gorgeous marriage of Northern Senegalese pop and pachanga. “Caravana” weds a rhumba-esque bolero to sweet griot soul. In sum, Tribute To Ndiouga Dieng may delineate a new phase for this band in the studio, but the music on offer is satisfying; it’s deeper and wider and the elements of joy are untouched by time. And make no mistake, it still slides down the spine toward the belly to create an almost irresistible temptation to dance. ~ Thom Jurek
