It is 1984. President Thomas Sankara moves to change his nation's name from the Republic of Upper Volta to Burkina Faso 24 years after freedom from French rule. This name change gives way to new public images like the song of devotion, maxim, and banner (all the more later).<br>

He made another public song of praise, "Une Seule Nuit," to supplant the "Hymne Nationale Voltaique" of the Upper Volta.<br>

From all signs, Sankara was determined to change the country from its pioneer character, Upper Volta, got from a waterway, to one that the Burkinabé public can be glad for. Likewise, he sent off one of the most exhaustive transformation designs at any point executed in Africa. It intended to significantly change the fundamental financial treacheries the French provincial system abandoned.<br>

The Republic of Upper Volta (French: Haute Volta) was an independent state established in December 1958 inside the French People group. It was previously known as the French Upper Volta. It was an individual from the French Association prior to turning out to be completely free in 1960 with Maurice Yaméogo as president.<br>
