Allmusic Review by Adam Greenberg
A nice album from one of the original Malian bluesmen — the great Boubacar Traore (known originally on Radio Mali as Kar Kar). Originally, hits like the "Mali Twist" made him famous in his homeland, though he disappeared for some time from the limelight, emerging more recently after his wife's death to record albums like this one. The style is vaguely similar to other Malian bluesers, such as Ali Farka Toure: a relatively stripped down format with little to no accompaniment. The accompaniment on the album comes from a calabash (gourd used as percussion). The combination of his voice and tender picking style leads to a rather sentimental mood for a few of the works, and the faster ones have more of that reminiscent John Lee Hooker/Ali Farka Toure style. The main difference is in the vocal abilities — Boubacar is actually singing, much more than the others; melody is important to the vocal section of the songs. For fans of African blues, this would be a definite pick. For newcomers, it might not be too bad of an introduction at all, though more of an easing in could be found in perhaps Taj Mahal's efforts with Toumani Diabate.
