Episode 8: Burkina Faso
In All of Us Command is a new podcast where we learn about countries and their national anthems. Each week, we draw a new country out of a hat and take turns researching them. In Episode 8, Kate researches Burkina Faso and their anthem One Single Night/Hymn of Victory.
This week, Kate guides us through the history and national anthem of Burkina Faso while eating a delicious new dish called "Fat Rice". Originally called Upper Volta, this former French colony now hosts the Panafrican Film and Television Festival of Ouagadougou and the International Art and Craft Fair.
