Coulibaly Tidiani

Tidiani Coulibaly was born on December 31 in 1941 at Kankalaba, "Upper Volta". He is a pioneer of modern music in his country. He became famous with Volta Jazz Orchestra during the sixties. In 1975, he founded his own orchestra, the Dafra Jazz, and recorded is first album that I offer you today with tremendous pleasure. Coulibaly inspired many artists and was also inpired by Amadou Ballke. He pays tribute to him on "Doro Daga". There seems to be an intense lack of interest by the western music listener in the music of Burkina Faso.
