Burkina Faso (/bÉrËkiËnÉ ËfÉËsoÊ/ bÉr-KEE-nÉ FAH-soh; [buÊkina faso]) is a landlocked country in West Africa around 274,200 square kilometres (105,900 sq mi) in size. It is surrounded by six countries: Mali to the north; Niger to the east; Benin to the southeast; Togo and Ghana to the south; and Ivory Coast to the southwest.
Burkina Faso is home to 60 different ethnic groups, each with their own variety of folk music. Unlike most African countries, Burkina Faso has not yet had a popular national style. The Semaine Nationale de la Culture, held every two years since 1983, is a music festival that has helped produce the country's few stars, including KaborÃ© Roger, SimporÃ© Maurice and Black So Man.
