BioÉtoile de Dakar (Star of Dakar) was a leading music group in Senegal in the late 1970s and early 1980s. The group was formed in 1978 by Badou Ndiaye and members of the Star Band after a dispute with Ibra Kasse, the band leader of the Star Band and the owner of the Miami nightclub in Dakar. The Star Band was one of Dakar's best-known nightclub house bands of the 1960s and 1970s. Kasse had fired one of the members of the Star Band, and several others quit in support of the musician, joining forces to create Étoile de Dakar. Singer El Hadji Faye, who previously sang for the Star Band but left because he did not get along with Ibra Kasse, was recruited at the outset. Later, singer Mar Seck, from No. 1 de Dakar, was brought into the band.
