Boubacar Traoré (born 1942 in Kayes, Mali) is a Malian singer, songwriter, and guitarist. Early fame Traoré first came to prominence in the early 1960s.

It remains a transport hub, primarily for Senegalese trade, to this day. In 1892, Kayes became the capital of the French Sudan; Bamako replaced it as the capital, first of the state of Haut Sénégal-Niger on October 17, 1899, then as the capital of all of French Sudan in 1908.
