Between 1991 and 1995, his compositions, banned by the Nigerian government, were distributed via pirate cassettes throughout Nigeria , Mali , Algeria , Burkina Faso and Libya . The peace agreements signed in 1995 allowed Oumbadougou to return from exile and to make the most of his popularity to set up the Takrist N'Tada association to promote Nigerian culture.
