Biography

Formed in 1948, this was the first group to receive government sponsorship in Burkina Faso. At first, they were a military band that played mostly French music. In the early '60s, led by Maurice Simpaure, they began to incorporate traditional rhythms and native languages into their repertoire. ~ Steve Huey, All Music Guide
