Malian Afro-pop singer/songwriter Salif Keita is one of the African continent's best-loved artists. Keita seamlessly blends Western sounds of jazz, funk, and pop with West African traditions to create an undeniably sunny sound. Keita's talent and determination eventually led him to become known as the "Golden Voice of Africa."
Born to royal lineage, with ancestral roots going back to Soundjata Keita, the founder of the Malian Empire in 1240, Keita suffered a difficult childhood; he was ostracized by his community for his albinism and disowned by his father when he chose to pursue a career as a musician. First in Bamako and later in Paris, Keita found his trademark sound and an international audience, leading to nonstop touring and multiple Grammy nominations. He has worked with a diverse array of artists: Joe Zawinul, Carlos Santana, Cesária Évora, Toumani Diabaté, Wayne Shorter, and many others.
