Sofiane Balzak Kanazoé, also known by his stage name Sofiano, is a singer and composer from Burkina Faso. His music generally encompasses the afro-zouk and coupé-décalé genres. He has worked with the Burkinabé artists Floby, Dez Altino and Agozo and has performed in the Jardin de la Musique Remdoogo,[1] a music and arts festival in the Burkinabé capital, Ouagadougou.[2] Sofiano won two national Kundé awards, the Kundé of revelation and the Kundé of hope, in 2015.[3][4]
He is recognisable on his records by his spoken Mòoré language slogan "yiinsan; laafi".[1][5] He sings mostly in Mòoré but also French and very occasionally English.
