<i>The Original Sound of Burkina Faso </i>available here on Double LP and CD.

Here we have a collection of songs that pay 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 musical pedigree. A few years before President Thomas Sankara changed his country's name from Upper Volta to it's current one, a new sound emerged to soundtrack a cultural revolution. Featuring music by Abdoulaye Cissé, Amadou Balaké, Pierre Sandwidi &amp; Super Volta, Tidiani Coulibaly &amp; Dafra Star, Bozambo, Youssouf Diarra and more.
