Just like several other outstanding guitar players,
Constant Boty is simply a talented West African Jazz Fusion guitarist who has dedicated himself since childhood to the African traditional music patterns in Jazz, and he is one of the finest guitarist, vocalist, arranger, composer and critic in West Africa.
A professional musician when in 1998 he entered the School of Arts Studies (Lycee d..Enseignments Artistiques Abidjan) and was latter in 2001 admitted to the prestigious National Institute of Arts (Institut Nationale Superieure des Arts et d.Actions Culturelles).
For his Impressive Skills in Arranging, his sense of Harmonization and developing a lyrical, improvisational style with roots in Afro Beat, Jazz, Blues and Classical, Boty name was flying on air which He was elected to compose a song for Radio Nostalgie , played onstage with French born composer and songwriter Jean-Jacques Goldman: and in Jazz clubs with Norman Brown, Jonathan Buttler, Legendary drummer Paco Sery, Henri Gaobi, Meiway, Aicha Kone,Ki Yi Mbock,Larry Cheik, Cameroonian Jazz pioneer late Jules Tchato (one of my best teacher, said Boty) and played with Crystal Night Club band, Zigzag Jazz Club , 37.2 Band , though Boty gained a larger and wider audience than most other successful musician.
Since May 15th 2008, Boty settled in Accra Ghana where he.s very busy working and trying to understand Ghana traditional music (an ethnomusicology work), studio sessions, meditating on his own compositions.

This poem is very sweet. It will be interesting to see who sends it back. Forward this on and back. Thanks! If I could catch a rainbow I would do it just for you and share with you its beauty On the days you're feeling blue. If I could build a mountain You could call your very own; A place to find serenity, A place to be alone. If I could take your troubles I would toss them in the sea, But all these things I'm finding are impossible for me. I cannot build a mountain Or catch a rainbow fair, But let me be what I know best, A friend who's always there. This is a Hug Certificate!! Send One to All Your Friends Who You Think Deserve A Hug (Which, Hopefully Includes the Person Who Sent It to You). You might send it to your enemies as well! It'll really tic 'em off!
