Coulibaly Tidiani has been played on NTS shows including Midnight Marauders w/ Marshmello, with Sie Koumgolo first played on 28 October 2016.

Tidiani Coulibaly was born on December 31 in 1941 at Kankalaba, "Upper Volta". He is a pioneer of modern music in his country. He became famous with Volta Jazz Orchestra during the sixties. In 1975, he founded his own orchestra, the Dafra Jazz, and recorded is first album that I offer you today with tremendous pleasure. Coulibaly inspired many artists and was also inpired by Amadou Ballke. He pays tribute to him on "Doro Daga". There seems to be an intense lack of interest by the western music listener in the music of Burkina Faso. There are phenomenal bands & musicians from Burkina Faso (or Upper Volta). One such band is Dafra Star. Tidiani Coulibaly started Dafra Star in 1975 after having left the famous Volta Jazz Orchestra. Only one year later, his new group won first prize at the National Festival of Modern Music.

The winning song is featured on the A-side of this LP. The song is simply called "Recital-1 eprix Festival Musique Voltaique-1976". The guitar & horn section are fantastic. The guitarist is none other than Zoumana Diarra, who in the 1980s went on to play with Super Biton, Rail Band & Super Djata. The B-side contains five great songs with a slight Cuban influence, kinda Afro-funk, also with bambara flavor, but the music of Upper Volta has a style all its own. It has been labeled ‘voltaique’.
