Bouba Sacko

 

A ridiculously under-recorded guitarist from Mali

I heard Bouba Sacko on this comp

Went looking and was surprised how little there was to be found

Most of it as a sideman or accompanist to a star singer

E.g. he's on this 

Either that or he's in a group (or duo) called Bajarou, whose one album has a little bit too much of that '90s sound (canned reverb) to it (and an offputting album title 'n' all- Big String Theory)

Whereas this (one more time!) almost could be off the first Velvet Underground album

I can't work out if Sokona Sacko is the female singer or the other guitarist

Here's a little film about Bouba
