Lobi Traore

Uploaded by ksksystemkrush on Jun 4, 2010
Lobi Traore was born in 1962 in Segou Bakaridiara in the province of Farako, just behind the river Niger. His father was a great Komo singer, and his uncle was a traditional violin player. Lobi's father gave up Komo singing to become an Imam (muslim priest), for if one wishes to study Islam, it is forbidden to be a part of a secret society associated with animist traditions. Lobi started playing shakers at a young age at local weddings and his talent was immediately noticed. During his teenage years, while studying timbales, he saw another man playing an acoustic guitar and was immediately struck by its beautiful sound. He was soon spending all his time playing. Lobi is the creator of an amazingly unique mix of blues and African music. He has been living in Bamako for fifteen years and can be found playing at clubs many nights of the week. Lobi has played in many European countries, Canada, Mozambique, South Africa and all of the countries of West Africa. His music has been recognized by many blues aficionados from around the world for its gritty, powerful soul.

I just came across his music and also learnt at the same time of his passing. I've got his stuff and been playing it this past few weeks. Shame he didn't gain the degree of recognition he deserved (for, to my mind, he is world class - and then some) or most probably would have seen, had he lived. RIP.

Hi everyone!! As I am listening to Lobi's last and sadly the final recording, I just noticed that he was born in 1961, according to Glitterhouse Recordings, and not '62 like it is written up here. Let's enjoy to the music and shed a little tear for the man...

He created the concept of Bambara Blues... He knows the bambara tradition of Segou more than everyone else...Humble, peaceful and wise in his lyrics, you will always learn something when you listen to his joyful music. I followed him from the Djembe Club of Lafiabougou to Joe's Pub in New York City...
