The project is run in partnership with BaabaMaal.tv and users from all corners of the Earth are encouraged to participate. The hope is that this community-based project can bridge the gaps between continents and cultures as the new media revolution offers us an unprecedented opportunity for a global exchange of ideas.
Television is the first Baaba Maal studio album from the iconic Senegalese musician. Co-produced with New York’s Brazilian Girls, the album blends subtle electronic dance elements with West African musical traditions. As he has made clear, Baaba Maal’s mission in West Africa extends beyond his music. He is committed to the concerns of families, young people and the future of the continent, as is reflected in his role as Youth Emissary for the United Nations Development Program.
