Considered one of the premier voices of his nation, Malian singer Boubacar Traore is a seminal artist of African music. He's been professional singer since the 1960s, though for a time he all but abandoned music. To support his family he worked various jobs in cluding as a schoolteacher, farmer, and tailor. When family obligations lessened in the 1980s, he re turned to his music and recorded his first album, "Manama." He's making his Boston premiere. Sept. 23, MFAs Remis Auditorium, 7:30 p.m.
