The music of Burkina Faso includes the folk music of 60 different ethnic groups. The Mossi people, centrally located around the capital, Ouagadougou, account for 40% of the population while, to the south, Gurunsi, Gurma, Dagaaba and Lobi populations, speaking Gur languages closely related to the Mossi language, extend into the coastal states. In the north and east the Fulani of the Sahel preponderate, while in the south and west the Mande languages are common; Samo, Bissa, Bobo, Senufo and Marka. Burkinabé traditional music has continued to thrive and musical output remains quite diverse. Popular music is mostly in French: Burkina Faso has yet to produce a major pan-African success.

  • Burquina Fasso é o lar de sessenta diferentes grupos étnicos, cada qual com sua própria variedade da música folk. O país produz muito pouca música popular, comparado com seus países limítrofes, que incluem gigantes musicais como a Nigéria e Costa do Marfim. A música tradicional de Burquina Fasso, entretanto, continuou prosperando apesar da afluência de estilos populares, e a produção cultural e a musical do país permanece bastante diversificada. O hino nacional de Burquina Fasso é "Une Seule Nuit", escrito por Thomas Sankara. Ele é o hino oficial do país desde 1984, quando Alto Volta alterou se nome para Burquina Fasso. Existe o Museu Nacional da Música em. Sua coleção de poucos anos, fora iniciada em 1998, mas já possui várias centenas de instrumentos musicais únicos. (pt)
