The Original Sound Of Burkina Faso
Here's a collection of songs that pays tribute to a truly golden age of music, touching on folk, funk, blues, highlife, disco, psyche, Latin, rock and soul. Burkina Faso may be one of the least well-known parts of West Africa, but it has a deep history and rich musical pedigree. A few years before President Thomas Sankara changed his country's name from Upper Volta to its current one, a new sound emerged to soundtrack a cultural revolution. TRACKS: 01.
