Issa Cissokho was a Senegalese musician of Malian griot roots, a composer, and saxophone player for Orchestra Baobab. Cissokho was recruited to Orchestra Baobab in 1972 while playing in Dakar's Vedette Band, which featured singer Laba Sosseh. With the Orchestra, he played tenor and occasionally alto, with Thierno Koite playing Soprano and alto. Cissokho was noted for his charisma on stage, and his eclectic musical taste, which led him to write reggae- and ska-flavored tunes for Orchestra Baobab.
