Hailing from remote Burkina Faso, Amadou Ballaké stands as one of Africa’s most mesmerizing voices.

In 1978, four years after the first recorded single version of Bar Konon Mousso, Ballaké covered that song once again, in a harder funk mode. Named Super Bar Konon Mousso, it was an updated version of the song which made him famous in his home country. This song is a masterful ode to the penniless musicians and the night ladies from African nights. It’s faster than the more atmospheric original version and it fitted perfectly to the more urbane moods of that era.
