Popis - BOBO YEYE: BELLE EPOQUE.. [VINYL]:
From his studio in central Bobo-Dioulasso, photographer Sory Sanl documented a nation's transformation from colonial foothold to cosmopolitan oasis. 'Bobo Yéyé: Belle Époque In Upper Volta' provides an intimate look into the landlocked nation's pop culture explosion of the 1970s. A melange of community elders and emboldened youth spill from the brightly lit confines of Sanlé's Volta Photo into the dimly lit nightclubs of Upper Volta's cultural capital. Accompanying this hardbound monograph are dozens of rare and evocative recordings spread over three discs featuring Bobo-Dioulasso's musical titans Volta Jazz, Dafra Star, Echo Del Africa, and Les Imbattables Léopards.
