Abstract
As a teenager growing up in Abidjan, Côte d’Ivoire, in the 1980s, Halidou Tinto dreamed of becoming a musician. He even recorded a few songs in the hope of getting music industry support to make an album. “I was quite invested in this track until my father vetoed my musical career”, he recalls. “I wasn’t happy” about it at the time, he admits, “but at the end of the day, it wasn’t so bad as it forced me to invest more energy in my schooling”. The redirection and hard work paid off. Today, Tinto is the Regional Director of the Institut de Recherche en Sciences de la Santé (IRSS), Nanoro, Burkina Faso.
