Music from Burkina-Faso – Alif Naaba

Alif Naaba (the “Barefoot Prince”)  from Ouagadougou, Burkina-Faso. This is what somebody said about him “Atop pulsating polyrhythmic percussion, harp-like kora textures, and funky bass and guitar riffs, Naaba’s majestic voice invites an audience to become citizens of his colorful acoustic Afro-pop kingdom” and that is true.
