'Rainy Season Blues', the new album by Lobi Traore, has sadly also turned out to be his musical testament as the Malian guitarist/vocalist died unexpectedly in June of this year. 'Rainy Season Blues' is Mali blues in its purest form, true to the principle of "less is more" as more than Lobi's voice and guitar the album doesn't have to offer. Worthy farewell to an authentic musician.
