Les Bambous is an open air place that has live performances most nights. The place is VERY dark, so much so that you might not be able to see what you are eating or drinking! There is a nice atmosphere here, only marred by the creepy guys who hang around preying on female tourists. If you wan't live local music....this is your joint.
Dress Code: Casual....so dark here that nobody will see what sort of rags you have on anyway.

Les Bambous is a good place to listen to traditional music on any given night while sipping a drink. It's outdoors, so during the rainy season, the situation is variable, and obviously on the weekend, the bands are generally better. Locals will come and contribute to the excitement. Sorry I don't have any still images to show. We took video and I captured bootleg a stereo audio recording for a slideshow soundtrack. This is a popular hang out for European and American expats too.

Bobo-A Pleasant Place to Spend Some Time

Bobo Dioulasso is a nice city to kick back and relax for a few days. People are friendly, the market is surprisingly manageable, and the old town makes for a pretty fascinating visit.

Bobo is a calm city. I visited during the Ramadan season and it was quite present everywhere. Bobo es una ciudad tranquila. La visité durante el Ramadan, aquí es donde esto más se apreciaba.
