off National Route 8 in Burkina Faso (I've actually had a work of mine
performed there) in Orodara - the capital of Kénédougou Province.
So, pursuing things further, I came across these two wonderful videos -
both of which seem to reach an incredible fever-pitch of excitement.

The sound of those Burkina Faso musicians put me in mind of Konono No 1, even they come from Kinshasa, which is approx. 1 000 miles away. When this video settles down, we get to see some live footage of the band and their unique instruments, which include elec thumb pianos:-
^ This track comes from their 2004 album
Congotronics which I can recommend, although I'm afraid my connection to the album isn't quite at the rostasi level:
I found it on the internet and I liked it. End of story
