A master of the Kamele N’Goni and an exceptional vocalist from Burkina Faso, Aboubakar Traoré brings West African traditions to life with a modern twist. After his debut album Tama Tama earned a nomination for Octaves de la Musique, he's back with SABABU—a bold mix of traditional rhythms and contemporary sounds.
Together with his band Balima, featuring musicians from Foofango, The Voodoo Sniffers and Sysmo, Traoré weaves together themes of love, injustice, and resilience. With grooves that move both body and spirit, SABABU is an invitation to explore, reflect, and celebrate the beauty of African heritage.
