Black So Man. For Black Is Also Man.

‘Tout Le Monde Et Personne’. He blames ‘Everybody and No one’.

Clearly, Bintogoma Traore was not trying to get rich, or entertain: he wanted to change the world. And all it took to get there was 4 cassettes, all recorded between 1994 et 1998. In that time he went from extreme poverty, sellings eggs in the streets and killing pigs at the factory, to being the biggest pop star in his native country, Burkina Faso, and a legend all over Western Africa.

Corruption, ill governance, education, colonisation… All his songs were history and philosophical lessons for the ghetto youths, the unemployed, and the many people who could identify themselves with him.

He died 20 years ago, mortally wounded after going through a car crash. Today, his videos still ranks millions of views on social network. No one has forgotten him. And his fight is more relevant than ever.

Rest In Power Black So Man (1967-2002)

Thank you to his son Ange Fela Traore and his wife Adji Sanon (to whom he dedicated the song ‘Adji’ included here) for their trust in us leading this reissue project. Half of the profits from the record goes to them.

Of all the bands that immigrated to East Africa, Super Mazembe has stood the test of time.
Super Mazembe started in 1969 in Likasi, near Lubumbashi, DRC as Super Vox. On tour in neighbouring Zambia during 1970, the band met Nashil Pichen Kazembe, a diehard supporter of one of Zaire’s top football clubs and TP Mzembe, who impressed on the band to change its name to Mazembe (Lingala, meaning bulldozer, suggesting their music had the same earthmoving effect). Kazembe subsequently become the band’s producer and manager and encouraged the band to move to Nairobi which had a thriving live music scene and better recording facilities. The band moved to Nairobi in 1974, via Tanzania, just as many a Congolese band did in the day.
