Baaba is a quartet; its members are Weber/ Moretti / Zabrodzki / Duda. The group was founded by Bartosz Webera in 2000 and after a year of playing on sofas the group started playing regular concerts and received fantastic reviews in festivals in Poland and Europe. Already in 2002 the group was enthusiastically received during its concerts in Poland. In 2003 a concert bootleg "Warszawa-Gdańsk" was produced, and in 2004 a record with remixes (Remixas Congas). Baaba gives concerts in Poland and abroad (England, France, Germany, Slovakia, the Czech Republic, Russia) both in clubs and renowned electronic music and jazz festivals (Fertilizer Festival, SKIF Festival, Warsaw Summer Jazz Days, Astigmatic, Les Nuits Europeenes, Terra Polska, Unsound Festival, Off Festival).
In 2010 the group's new record was released called Disco Externo, it received excellent reviews in the Polish press: "Disco Externo (…) is dominated by masterly combined rhythmic loops and showpiece juggling with samples of live instruments playing." (Jacek Skolimowski, Dziennik), "Bartosz Weber's group music is unusually precisely worked out, full of interesting sounds, quivering and colourful" (Filip Łobodziński, Newsweek). Baaba was nominated to receive the 'Mateusz' award of the Polish Radio Programme 3.
During the last day of Unsound Festival Baaba musicians presented their own interpretation of Krzysztof Komeda's soundtrack made for Roman Polański's parody film "The Fearless Vampire Killers". Singer Natalia Przybysz, known from the group Sistars, and harpsichordist Małgorzata Sarbak joined Baaba.
