Star Band is a music group from Senegal that was the resident band of Dakar's Miami Club.[1][2]
Formed to celebrate Senegal's independence in 1960, the band has been host to some influential musicians, Youssou N'Dour being the most notable, and gave birth to Etoile de Dakar.[3] Some former members were drafted for the first Orchestra Baobab (as the Baobab club was opened to compete with Miami), and also for Laba Sosseh's Abidjan-based band.
