What else about this wonderful character of Malian music which has not already been said in each of the brothers blog? The answer is: nothing. I just wanted that the Garden, in its small way, helped to give birth and on a monument as Boubacar Traoré, especially after having had the pleasure of extracting from the flight that day waiting for a jewel like '' Mali Denhou'' (Lusafrica, 2011) by which Kar Kar''''returns to delight us after six years of silence. Come and gone several times to the ears of his countrymen, Boubacar was' launched 'in the rest of the world on the sidelines of the interest created around the original''blues''by his old friend Ali Farka Toure . But Traore is not a griot , which allowed him to move (when has not) more freely in their relations with extra-African culture, both in the choice of the topics in the musical arrangements. This is why his records, sweet and deep, often introduce elements not just African-Americans, but also evocative and melodic arpeggio closer to some European folklore, treated during a long stay in the French seventies. Stories of villages, love songs, hymns, solidarity and above all the essentials. A man alone with his guitar. If the blues is also poetic sober, his is a minimalist example. Denhou''Mali''is no exception and joy of making music, and listen.
