Burkina Faso collection Vol.1
With these recordings a pilot project begins, the funds raised will be paid to develop a small recording studio in Burkina Faso, where we could invite many artists and anyone who wants to express themselves.
I dedicate this first collection to Yacouba Dembele, a dear friend who sadly died early, thanks to him I work exporting medicinal plants from this country with a company that I opened in 2008.
All recordings are done on site without professional machinery, therefore there are numerous errors that are very difficult to remove, I hope you will anyway appreciate.
Tracks:
