Voyage Doré
Original music by Solo Diara for Ouaga Doré inspired by the golden journey of life. Sweat, suffering, risk, and reward. Collaboration, service, loss, courage, and perseverance. The trials and testing. Paths through water and fire, then fire and water, to eventually come out into a wealthy place. This is a journey every human soul knows. From its journey through the earth, human hands, the ancient desert sands it crossed in Trans Sahara trade to the golden future of its celebration in Burkina Faso. In mystery and openness, this is the journey of gold
