  • Chef André Bayala - a man who did not even know what chocolate was in his youth - was named Africa's best chocolatier in 2016.
    For Chef André, chocolate is both a passion and a revolution. His inspiration comes from Burkina Faso’s revolutionary leader Thomas Sankara, who once said, “Consume what you produce and produce what you consume.”
    He runs his restaurants in Ouagadougou, making chocolate delicacies and pastries, with a determination that Africans should cultivate, enjoy and profit from its raw materials.
    Michel K Zongo is cinematographer and director based in Burkina Faso. He has made three feature documentaries which won several awards, as well as an award-winning films for Africa Direct. He is the artistic director of the Koudougou Doc Festival and has been an Academy ("Oscars") member since 2020.

    I’d definitely love to try out the chocolate from Chef André when I am able to travel to Burkina Faso 🇧🇫 for the very first time.
    Thomas Sankara may be gone but his legacy still lives on and one of the reasons why I love to see a self-sufficient African continent.

    I am so sorry you did nor know the chocolate was grown in Africa coconut trees. God bless you continue to pray to Almighty God and he will bless you even more. Africa is a rich continent. I heard an article that said the world needs Africa to be poor so they can steal from them. But thanks be to God for your business. The government is sometimes paid off and is not for the citizens of its country. That's all I can say.

    The poor grow it, and give it to the rich, go figure, that’s a very foolish thing to say that it’s not for the poor. Lack of knowledge can really destroy a people. Pass the skill on brother so your people will know. God bless
