🎸 Volta Jazz

About

Volta Jazz is a West African musical ensemble from Burkina Faso, one of the prominent orchestras of the region in the post-independence era. The group drew on Cuban music and Congolese classics such as Tabu Ley Rochereau, crafting its own dance compositions in a Creole style. Senegalese musician Cheikh Lô took his first orchestral steps with the ensemble.
