| Review: | Despite being born to royal lineage, with
ancestral roots going back to the Founder of the
Malian Empire, Salif Keita’s albinism was
considered a sign of bad luck in Mali, and
resulted in his being spurned and alienated by
his community and even by his family. He spent
his childhood and teenage years feeling isolated,
and turned to music as a means by which to
make use of his talents and connect with others.
His reputation spread far and wide.Known
around the world as "The Golden Voice of
Mali," Salif Keita's unique sound blends the
traditional styles of his West African homeland
with influences from Cuba, Spain, Portugal, and
the Middle East.
For the first time - a best of Salif Keita - 22
tracks from across his expansive career. A must have CD |
