Ouagadougou: Burkinabè singer and composer Floby, whose real name is Florent Belemgnegré, presented his 7th album called ‘Burkina Faso’ to the Minister of State, Minister of Communication, Culture and Arts and Tourism, Jean Emmanuel Ouédraogo, this Thursday 18 in Ouagadougou, accompanied by his manager, Papus Zongo.
For Floby, this album is a declaration of love to his motherland which is facing the terrorist hydra. ‘We are certainly going through difficult times, but we are still standing and resilient and we will fight until final victory,’ declared the artist quoted by Minister Ouédraogo’s communications services.
The 18-track work released on June 30, 2024 is sung in the national Moore language and in French to pay tribute to the cultural richness of Burkina Faso, promote living together, cohesion, sharing and peace. For the artist, it represents his ‘way of telling those who think that Burkina Faso is unlivable because of the false information conveyed, that it is quite the opposite’.
The Minister of
State, while congratulating the artist for the quality of his musical repertoire, took the opportunity to encourage Floby and his staff for the work done in favor of culture and the promotion of a Burkina Faso of peace and social cohesion. For him, the battle at the front will be won by the FDS and VDP but for the overall victory over the enemies, culture has a crucial role to play and this work is a fine example to follow.
