This song celebrates a merchant who had a "boutique" as in Mamadou "Boutique" (Bitiki). He was probably a patron who supported the griots so much that they wrote this piece for him. It was so good that it survived to become part of the traditional repertoire.

@Slerovx
Mamadou legend says that his excessive generosity to the griots led to his ruin and he died in poverty, the griots will never forget him.
