From his studio in central Bobo-Dioulasso, photographer Sory Sanl� documented a nation�s transformation from colonial foothold to cosmopolitan oasis. Bobo Yeye: Belle Epoque in Upper Volta provides an intimate look into the landlocked nation�s pop culture explosion of the 1970s

A melange of community elders and emboldened youth spill from the brightly lit confines of Sanl�s Volta Photo into the dimly lit nightclubs of Upper Volta�s cultural capital. Accompanying this hardbound monograph are dozens of rare and evocative recordings spread over three discs by Bobo-Dioulasso�s musical titans: Volta Jazz, Dafra Star, Echo Del Africa, and Les Imbattables L�opards.
