Discover the pioneering sound of West African music with Le Troubadour De La Savane by Sandwidi Pierre, a celebrated figure hailed as the "troubadour of the savannah." Originally recorded between 1978 and 1980 in Burkina Faso (formerly the Republic of Haute-Volta), Sandwidi's music blends electronic influences with folk and world rhythms, offering a captivating window into a critical era of his country's history.
This remarkable collection, reissued by Born Bad Records in 2018, captures the social, political, and economic struggles of pre-revolutionary Burkina Faso through Sandwidi’s insightful songwriting and unique sonic palette. An essential listen for fans of global grooves and historical storytelling, the album stands as a testament to the enduring power and innovation of African music in the late 20th century.
