Record label press info:
je chanterai pour toi (I’ll Sing For You) – the original soundtrack of Jacques Sarasin’s film - takes us on a journey through Mali with Boubacar Traoré as our guide. Boubacar’s songs, like pages from his diary, reveal the story of his life. Poignantly singing songs about sadness and passion, Kar Kar clearly knows heartbreaking blues and the songs that keep it at bay. From Kayes to Bandiagara, from Bamako to Niafunke, where he meets Ali Farka Touré, we follow him like a friend, listening to the sounds of life. At the age of 20, “Kar Kar blouson noir,” the rocker, embodies new independent Mali. His songs are gifts to the nation and he’s overjoyed when he marries his beloved Pierrette. In 1968, after Modibo Keïta has been overthrown, Kar Kar, who sang his praises on the radio, disappears from the airwaves. He spends almost twenty years away from music. In 1987, it is a television show that becomes the starting point of his musical comeback and in 1989, Sterns releases his first international CD. But the blues return and he disappears from the spotlight once more after his beloved Pierrette dies after giving birth. With his recent comeback record for Indigo, Boubacar proves that both his spirit and his music are unstoppable.

Please note!
Most 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.
We 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.
