For the second consecutive year, NPR teamed up with globalFEST in January 2021 for a thrilling online music festival we call Tiny Desk Meets globalFEST: three nights, nine bands, and a world of musical traditions hosted by African pop star Angélique Kidjo. Now, we're posting all the sets from our festival as individual Tiny Desk (home) concerts.Bob Boilen | January 28, 2022Born from the rich musical and historical heritage of San Basilio de Palenque, Colombia (the first free Black town in the Americas), Kombilesa Mí fuses the traditional sounds of the community with urban pop. The band's members experiment with the instruments created by their ancestors (and introduced to them when they were young) by layering them between new sounds.Over traditional percussion, metal handmade drums of their own design, and marímbula, Kombilesa Mí rhymes and raps in Spanish and the traditional Palenquero language, a fusion of African Bantu, Portuguese, French and English. During the performance, you'll hear them call their music "RFP," which means Rap Folklórico Palenquero, a combo of cumbia, son de negro, mapalé and son palenquero. --The globalFEST staffSET LIST"I Tando Pa Palenge""I A Piyá Bó""Kumo Kusa Tá""Los Peinados""Asina Gue""Ma Nduse""Ata Uto Begá"MUSICIANSAndris Padilla Julio: vocalsKeila Regina Miranda Pérez (KR MP): vocalsAlí Fernando Navarro (MCPM): vocals, tambor alegreMartín Elias Maza: tambor llamadorKendri Cassiani: tamborasOrlys Reyes: marímbulaEdwin Valdes: maracasCREDITSProduction: Guillermo CamachoAudio: Fernando ManzurVideo: Guillermo CamachoCamera: Royman Reales MartinezSpecial thanks: Real Films Cartagena, Viviana Benitez, novaproduccionesTiny Desk Meets globalFESTTiny Desk TeamProducer: Bob BoilenVideo Producer: Maia SternAudio Mixing: Josh RogosinTiny Production Team: Bobby Carter, Kara Frame, Joshua Bryant, Sofie Hernandez-SimeonidisExecutive Producer: Keith JenkinsSenior VP, Programming: Anya GrundmannglobalFEST Artistic TeamCo-Directors: Shanta Thake, Isabel Soffer, Bill Bragin2022 Curators: Shanta Thake, Isabel Soffer, Bill Bragin, Gabrielle DavenportglobalFEST Production TeamEvent Producer: Ian ThakeProducer: THE OFFICE performing arts + film*Video Producer: Karim TabbaaSpecial ThanksThe Andrew W.

Tensions are rising once again in Burkina Faso after reports emerged that authorities under Captain Ibrahim Traoré moved against a prominent imam, sparking outrage, confusion, and heavy public reactions. Supporters of the military-led government argue that the action was necessary to protect national stability and prevent influential figures from fueling division during a critical period in the country’s fight against insecurity and terrorism. But critics believe the arrest raises serious concerns about freedom of speech, religious influence, and the growing concentration of power under the current leadership.

As protests grow and debates intensify online and on the streets, many people are asking the same question: what really happened behind the scenes? Was this purely a security matter, or is there a deeper political struggle unfolding inside Burkina Faso? With emotions running high, conflicting narratives have emerged, making it difficult to separate facts from propaganda.

Captain Ibrahim Traoré remains one of the most talked-about leaders in Africa today, admired by many for his bold anti-colonial rhetoric and efforts to redefine Burkina Faso’s alliances. However, incidents like this continue to spark concerns about governance, dissent, and the balance between national security and civil liberties. In this video, we break down the controversy, the protests, the political implications, and the details many international media outlets are not fully discussing.
