 In much of the literature on African art, the group that lives in the area of Bobo-Dioulasso is called Bobo-Fing, literally "black Bobo".These people call themselves Bobo and speak the Bobo language, a Mande language.The Bambara people also call another ethnic group "Bobo", the Bobo-Oule/Wule, more precisely called the Bwa.
