Bambara Mystic Soul The Raw Sound of Burkina Faso 1974 - 1979 (CD)
Barcode: 4260126060821
For its commemorative 10th release, Analog Africa indulges in Burkina Faso, one of the jewels of the Sahel, a harsh and arid strip that straddles the southern Sahara, stretching from Dakar in the west to Djibouti in the east. Formerly known as Haute Volta, Burkina Faso's sound was organized and nurtured during the country's time as part of a vast patchwork making up French colonial West Africa. While it might be Analog Africa's venture into possibly the most obscure of African sounds thus far, the sounds of the golden age of Burkinabe music deserve to be heard and the varying styles that came to define the era are completely covered in this 16-track release due on October 10, 2011. CD with 44-page booklet. Includes unlimited streaming of Bambara Mystic Soul - The Raw Sound Of Burkina Faso 1974-1979 via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more.
