From the landlocked tropical savanna of Upper Volta, an ever-evolving cast of musicians brought the world's rhythms to the streets of their native Bobo-Dioulasso. Combining Congole se rhumba, American R&B, French yé-yé, Cuban son, and regional Senufo and Mandingo traditions, Orchestre Volta Jazz was at the epicenter of the West African musical explosion of the '60s and '70s. Air Volta compiles nine original songs originally issued on the Disques France-Afrique and Sonafric labels, a peerless primer of a group that turned the brutality of colonialism into something beautiful and enduring. Tracklist: 1. Air Volta2. Wêrê Wêrê Magne3. Bi Kameleou4. Mama Soukous5. Mousso Koroba Tike6. Djougou Toro7. Peyrissac8. Fitri Mawaly9.
