About

Salif Keita is a Malian singer of extraordinary vocal power and expressiveness, descended from the Keita royal family yet born an outcast due to his albinism. His recordings moved from Bamako griot tradition through Afro-pop to collaborate with Wayne Shorter and Joe Zawinul on the landmark album Soro. His music is deeply rooted in Mande musical tradition.
