Rudolphe Gomis plays in Orchestra Baobab, a legendary combo which also features Moijssa Sidibe and Mountaga Koite.



One of the founding members of Orchestra Baobab, Rudy Gomis began his musical career as a singer with the group Palladium de Dakar, where he met future Baobab cohort Balla Sidibe. The two worked with guitarist Barthelemy Attisso while all three were members of Standard band; the trio went on to form the core of Baobab on its inception in 1970 - and remain at its heart in today's line-up.
