Bissap Baobab stands out in San Francisco as a lively Senegalese restaurant and nightclub that operates until 4 a.m. Recently, Joan Baez mentioned visiting the club with Lana Del Rey in a Rolling Stone interview. Although Del Rey was shy during the outing, it highlights the friendship between the veteran folk singer and the pop star. The restaurant's owner, Marco Senghor, confirmed Baez's long-standing connection with Bissap Baobab, emphasizing the bond they share despite pandemic-related interruptions.
We had dinner and then went off to this Senegalese club in San Francisco where I've danced for years. She didn't dance. Her sister danced. She was very, very shy, actually, in some ways. I did the dancing for her.
Marcos Senghor, owner of Bissap Baobab, said Baez is a friend of the restaurant. Even though she doesn't come by as often, she remains a friend.
I know every time I call her, she's going to respond and she's not too far from us,
