In the 1960s, Mali's citizens woke up to Boubacar "KarKar" Traoré's voice on the radio, singing about independence. His hits brought joy to all, but he struggled financially and had to abandon music to support his family as a tailor and salesman. After his wife's tragic passing, KarKar moved to France, working in construction and singing at immigrant shelters on weekends. In Mali, he was presumed dead. Years later, a music producer stumbled upon an old recording of his, reigniting his musical journey.
