Prior to Burkina Electric’s formation, band members Maï Lingani, Wende K. Blass, and Lukas Ligeti became close friends as members of Beta Foly, a group that created some of the earliest fusions of techno/trip-hop with African traditional music. Burkina Electric was originally formed for a one-time tour in Austria, but the collaboration was so successful they decided to continue as an on-going band. A self-released CD, Rêem Tekré, featured 4 songs by Burkina Electric plus remixes of these songs by DJ Spooky, Paul de Jong of The Books, Rupert Huber of Tosca, Badawi, and Mapstation; the group’s debut full-length album, Paspanga, was released in 2010 by the New York label Cantaloupe Music, and is now available worldwide.
