Please note!
Most of our CDs have been imported from Europe or Asia. They are not all shrink-wrapped, and I am not going to con you by wrapping them here just to make you think they have been sterilized in America. I guarantee that the CDs and the contents are all brand new and in perfect condition. Whenever I can, I use recycled shipping materials. They may not look as pretty on the outside, but they save money and keep the trash dumps a little bit emptier.
Thanks- Cliff, cdRoots

Search tips:
This is a small database, and you will rarely return too many listings, so keep it simple. Your search will be returned only for listings with ALL the words you enter in the serach. So if you put in Poland and jazz, you will only get those listings that meet both criteria. This is a fairly primitive search tool, so don't use punctuation like quotes or commas, and do not use limiters like and and or... they don't help. Finally, only very basic ASCII charaters are readable (like I said, it's primitive), so substitute any letters with diacritical or accent marks with a simpler letter, ie: search Boden instead of Bodén.

If you did not find what you were looking for, do not hesitate to send me an e-mail. I may be able to order it for you. Please contact me - Cliff

Various - Le Mandigue: Empire de la Musique - $17.99
(cdRoots# hm-mandingue)
A collection of 16 tracks by artists featured at the Festival Musiques Métisses in France. Originating in Mali and Guinea, these musicians are the cultural ambassadors of the vast region once known as the Mandingo Empire, which stretched from the shores of the Gulf of Guinea to the sands of the Sahara, from the forests of Africa’s Atlantic Coast to its desert dunes. Includes previously released tracks by Salif Keita, Amadou and Miriam, Rokia Traore, Nahwa Doumbia, Ali Farka Toure, Boubacar Traore, Super Rail Band, Mory Kante, Habib Koite and many others.


Boubacar Traore - Kongo Magni - $17.99
(cdRoots# hm-traore05)
Guitarist/singer Boubacar Traoré is one of the 'house favorites' at cdRoots. His dense voice and rugged guitar style contrasts sharply with the rolling lilt of many of his Malian contemporaries. On Kongo Magni, Boubacar’s realistic, if pessimistic, view of life and its problems is finally granted a fragile silver lining. Accompanied by a small combo of accordion and harmonica, kamele ngoni, balafon and percussion, Traoré is again revealed as philosophical, lyrical and resigned - guarded, hopeful and humane.


Boubacar Traore - je chanterai pour toi (I will sing for you) - $17.99
(cdRoots# hm-chanterai)
the sound track to a french made film features Kar Kar's best known songs, rerecorded in a wonderfully informal manner, trace the story. Guests include Ali Farka Toure and Kelitigui Diabate.


Boubacar Traore - Sa Golo - $17.99
(cdRoots# hm-karkar-sa)
One of Kar Kar's most acclaimed recordings, a solo endeavor for voice and guitar with occasional percussion from Baba Dramé on calabash. Focused titghtly on more traditional griot music than much of his work.


Various Artists - Reves d' oasis - Desert Blues 2 (2 CD set) - $39.99
(cdRoots# hm-oasis2)
Another excellent Network set, the second of their 'desert blues' series. Includes Soliman Gamil, Cheb Mami, Teita Leibid and Luis Delgado, Tartit, Boubacar Traoré, Rokia Traoré, Djélimady Tounkara, Habib Koité, Lobi Traoré, Nahawa Doumbia, Djeli Moussa Diawara and Bob Brozman, Grand Papa Diabaté and Sona Diabaté, El Hadj N'Diaye, Mansour Seck, Yandé Codou Sène and Youssou N'Dour, Rasha, Netsanet Mellessé and Wallias Band and many others


Traore, Boubacar - Mariama - $13.99
