Sidiki Ouédraogo
a dusty crossroads town in Burkina Faso

Obsessed with the harmony and dignity of his environment, he takes solace in the meticulous order he maintains. Despite an odd, unchecked laugh that sets him apart and a vigilant anxiety over unseen details, Sidiki finds solace in creating music, drawing inspiration from the cleansing rituals and distinct emotional aura of the courthouse.
