Welcome To Burkina-Electric !

Burkina Electric was founded in 2004 by Mai Lingani (vocals), Lukas Ligeti (drums & electronics), Pyrolator (electronics & visuals) and Burkinabè guitarist Wende K. Blass. The group's objective is to bring new concepts to both Burkinabè music and Western club electronica by infusing computer-based performance with rhythms and other elements of Burkinabè traditons. A first, very successful tour took place in Austria in 2004. The group has just finished recording its first CD, which will be released in Burkina Faso in May, 2006, when Burkina Electric will be featured at this year's Ouagadougou Jazz Festival.

4th of May we played at the Festival Jazz à Ouaga, Centre Culturel Français Georges Meliès, Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso, 5.of May in the Centre Culturel Français Henri Matisse, Bobo-Dioulasso, Burkina Faso.
