SALIF KEITA
Trend setter for the past 55 years, Salif Keita has marked his career time after time with world hits of Afro Pop. Not only due to his remarkable voice, often referred to as The Golden Voice of Africa.
As singer-songwriter he known for blending elements of a wide range of local African—especially Mande—music traditions with jazz, rhythm and blues, and other international popular-music styles to pioneer the Afropop dance-music genre. In spite of a noble lineage tracing back to Sundiata Keita, the 13th-century founder of the Malian empire, Salif Keita grew up as an outsider in several important respects. First, he was raised not in an environment of royal affluence but in a poor farming household. Second, owing to his albinism—a condition traditionally viewed as a harbinger of misfortune—he found himself a pariah, rejected by both his family and his community. His choice to pursue music, moreover, violated the occupational prohibitions of his noble status and, consequently, distanced him even farther from his family.
Keifa started his music career at the age of 18, singing in clubs in Bamako, the capital of Mali. After 5 Grammy Nominations, countless international awards and 18 albums, Salif Keita will present his legacy in the history of African music to music lovers at Turkcell Stage in a very special night.
