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.

Neolithic Era: Began roughly 12,000 years ago and continued until roughly 3500 BCE
