Trey and Dave Matthews journeyed to Senegal in mid-January for a cross-cultural exchange with seminal West African band Orchestra Baobab.

Trey and Dave toured around Senegalese capital city Dakar, attended an Africa Cup soccer match (where Senegal edged out South Africa 2-1), gave an acoustic performance off the coast of Dakar on Goree Island, watched singer Baaba Maal perform an intimate show (Trey called it “one of the best concert experiences of my life”) and then rehearsed and performed with Orchestra Baobab at “Yengoulene”, a small club in Dakar. The whole trip was documented by VH1 for an episode of “(Inside) Out”, and is expected to debut on the channel in mid-March.
