Boubacar Traoré "KarKar"

[sarahchng]

such a beautiful artist. I just saw the documentary film about his life. I can't get enough of this haunting music

[EvolveRevolution]

Does anyone have lyrics and/or translation?

I wish I knew what this is about.

[brylorbs69]

Just saw him at the Narrows Center For the Arts in Fall River, MA.

accompanied by an amazing harmonica player and another guy playing a freakingly wild gourd instrument called a calebasse. If you get the chance, see this guy live. The experience will stay with me forever!

[djstr8fwd]

yep... West Africa rocks, for all kind of reasons. I love to travel there. It is the place where I feel the most alive.

[notalentable]

[saberwulf6]

[biniam204]

this shit takes me to place where I grew up and where I long to return one day... where life is pure and simple... one one day I will be there enjoying the sunshine...

[gqwestcoast]

its real n it comes from the heart. i like it

[hollowbodyguitar]

I love that last scene with the boy and his animal. gives it at feeling cant describe, like this is from a whole other world.. my soul is calling me to Mali..

[gqwestcoast]

come in mali we love people too much. we call it Diatiguiya

[djembeweaver]

Has anyone tried counting this? I just did and it has a 5-6-5 count every revoulution. I've never come across that before. I think this is genious because when you first listen to it it flows so smoothly you don't even notice how clever it is! Beautiful.

[jebthebear]

This reminds me so much of Robert Pete Williams' style....if you havent heard of him, check him out.

[poulpe35]

[C1ktrpllah08]

KARKAR1.D

[djembeweaver]

Wow! I read about karkar years ago in a book called 'Mali Blues' and have been facinated by him ever since. This is so.....soulful. Beautiful beyond belief. Why is Ali Farka Toure so much more well known (and probably richer)?

[gopz83]

thanks man..am i glad to be alive and listenin to such beautiful music..

[intercellgsm]

Exelente,magnifico,bom saber que se pode encontrar musica boa,feita com a alma.parabens Karkar

[boubabarre]

qui à dit que la musique na pas d'humour ta musique et la source de l'humanité en tant que malien je aime

[busterbrot]

It's wonderful to see how music flows through the ages and cultures, similar to how this African blues grew and evolved into the American blues we know today...needless to say, in the end, this music transcends any culture or race and is as pure today as it was in the beginning. Music=heaven...in my mind

[sunflowerssunshowers]

It's nice to see that other people hug their guitars when they play, now I don't feel so weird.

[kinksbeatlesstones]

A truly awesome talent! Self taught and sings from an ancient place. The Mississippi John Hurt of west Africa I feel

[muzikrehberinettc]

he is in the list of greatest 500 music artists, search 'fodik' on youtube and learn his ranking :)

[ceepatton]

i want to know why there arent billions upon billions of views

[shuaibqawwal]

Incredibly touching... Reminds me of the green green mountains of home.

[kumoja]
