  3. Salif Keita - Mali


Known as "The voice of gold African", Salif Keita has built an own and unmistakable sound throughout his career, mixing modern rhythms such as jazz, funk and rock with traditional music from Mali.

This invaluable artist has toured many countries of the world, sharing their work of high-level and transmitting its message of peace and tolerance in all scenarios. Salif Keita is a great teacher and has positioned itself as one of the most important voices that Africa has given to the world.

Salifou Salif Keïta was born on August 25, 1949 in Djoliba (Mali), on the banks of the Niger River. It is an albino (and leaves little, with his mother's repudiation of his father). Society where it grows in fact attributed evil powers to albinos. Salif had a lonely childhood, regularly harassed by peers as a result of their skin color. She dreams to become a Professor but, despite having followed the proper career and be a good student, a few vista problems prevent you from follow this dream. His desire to become singer (Griot caste reserved status) was denied by its Royal family, despite his clear and powerful voice molded in the field, moving the birds and other animals thieves of corn. In such a way that Keita left his family in 1967, settled in Bamako, where I presented in the market places, cafes and then in various clubs with one of his brothers.

Their album Moffou (2002), gold disc in France, has the same name as a recording studio and a club, which had just bought - the Moffou is a type of flute in fact. Two years later, the disc Remixes from Moffouaccount with the presence of producers such as Frederic Galliano. Also in 2004, his militant commitment as well as their beliefs, make the United Nations named him Ambassador for sport and music. The musician back then in Bamako with the project of the acoustic record M'bemba (the ancestor) in 2006. Salif Keïta arises in the malinesas elections in 2007. The same year I think his own label: Wanda Records.

The musical career of Salif Keïta, long and bright already does not have to be proven, only the musical territories still unknown and unpublished artistic encounters could stimulate your inspiration... In fact is one of those encounters that is at the root of his latest album: Talé, which made in January 2011 with the French composer Philippe Cohen Solal, of the famous and successful Gotan Project.
