Boubacar Traoré - Kar Kar

After disappearing from public life for two decades following early sixties stardom, Boubacar Kar Kar Traore re-emerged in 1992 with this haunting acoustic session. His idiosyncratic thumb-and-finger guitar picking style, influenced by American blues and native Kassonke rhythms, provides a melancholic foundation for his weathered, deeply soulful voice on Mali Twist and Kar Kar.
