@buffyleigh and there’s a magnificent story in it as well.
In the 60s/70s there was a whole scene of great music in Burkina Faso on the west coast of Africa. After being colonized by France, they gained their independence in 1960. The music explosion there was a complex blend of many genres from many areas of the world. I feel like it was one giant organic celebration, and a gateway to the rest of the world.
