Drummer, percussionist and composer Ahmad Compaoré is a musician of freedom. Of Egyptian and Burkinabé origins, he has developed a career just like his personal history, based upon cultural encounters. For the past 20 years, from one continent to the next, from one culture to another, he explores, discovers and grows richer.
