HISTORY

1978年バンド活動を開始。最初はシンプルな4人のグループだったが、フレキシブルな表現を模索して増殖。最大時にはブラスセクションを伴う11人編成だったこともある。現在は核となる3人のメンバーを中心にオリジナル曲作りを行っている。2009年11月アルバム「L freaks」発表。

Formed in 1978, as a simple 4-piece band in Tokyo. For the purpose of more flexible sound-coordinating, Babaouo once had 11 members including the brass section, the percussion & the twin keyboards. Recently we are continuing our musical activity basically on the Mac by the three core members. New album "L freaks" was released in November 2009.
