How do you pronounce Bojangles?
Bo as bow/sew/toe/go
jan as in fan/can/man
gles as in 'gls' . It is best that you listen to words like bangles, dangles, tangles pronounced:
these definition - Dictionary - MSN Encarta

then
bow-jan-gles

In AmE common usage would be:
bow (as in go) - jang - g'ls See jangle definition - Dictionary - MSN Encarta
