B 3

B2 is the third edition of B, Burkina Baso’s national selection for the Own Africavision Song Contest 9.

History
Radio Télévision du Burkina first announced back in January of 2021 that a national selection would take place to select the artist and song for the Own Africavision Song Contest 6 for Burkina Faso, the format was still unknown at this point as little information was revealed during this announcement.On 29th March 2021, RTB announced that 4 songs would be participating in the inaugural selection, where international juries will be able to determine the winner of the selection.

Emy won the first edition with "Inconvenient”, and placed 13th in the final. B was axed for one edition due to the costs involving the continuation of the contest. However, once Alicia Awa placed 6th in the Own Africavision Song Contest 7, a return of B was likely due to Burkina Faso earning an automatic spot in the final of Own Africavision Song Contest 8. On the 6th of August 2021, RTB confirmed that B would return, with a new refreshed logo and design.
