Legendary Senegalese musician Baaba Maal joins Matt Everitt to share his stories, music, and First Times in his life.

Baaba Maal has followed his music as it travelled the world, spreading word of an energetic, idealistic Africa - from his young travels around West Africa performing songs with mentor Mansour Seck, to the Paris conservatoire where he studied musical theory, and ultimately across the globe.

He has collaborated with John Leckie, Brian Eno, Damon Albarn鈥檚 Africa Express and Mumford & Sons. He has worked on movie soundtracks for The Last Temptation of Christ and Black Hawk Down and more recently become the voice of Wakanda for the Black Panther films, helping soundtrack composer Ludwig Goransson create the films exhilarating musical soundscape.

Baaba's latest album Being is released at the end of March 2023.
