Released in 1981, Sibou Odja is Orchestra Baobab's second studio album produced at the Golden Baobab in Dakar by the young producer Ibrahima Sylla. After their masterpiece Mouhamadou Bamba recorded the same year, Sibou Odja would once again mark the history of Senegalese music by propelling the group's success into a new musical decade.
