Product Review

Produced by Ballake Sissoko and Christian Mousset and recorded at the Bogolan studios in Bamako, Mbalimaou is a new milestone in the work of Boubacar Traore. His inimitable guitar style, and the poetry that pervades his songs, have all matured over the years. Infused with nostalgia and melancholy, Mbalimaou is a record of great depth, one of the finest in this unique artist's long career.
