Afropop legend Salif Keita performed with his band at The Sanctuary for Independent Media in Troy NY on April 2, 2017 to a capacity crowd in an amazing show! www.salifkeita.net/en www.mediasanctuary.org
The chance was not missed our great African weakness is that of not honoring and promoting African talents, we prefer Western talents at the expense of our great African Brothers and sisters.
Wishing All Africans a Happy Africa Day... Hope one day our leaders will do justice to this beautiful continent and stop relying on the other continents for every little thing. # AFRICA UNITE
As a Zimbabwean born under the Bob Mugabe regime ,l had no choice but become a Pan-Africanist .Our airwaves blasted African music ,Salif Keita and the beautiful Cesaria Evora were the sound track to my childhood .Now living in the diaspora and a grown ass man ,l believe Zimbabweans are the most Pan-Africanist nation and when Bob said "Tony Blair keep your England and l will keep my Zimbabwe ",he was express self love equivalent to Mohamed Ali refusing to go to Vietnam .I am a deeply proud African ,wish l could share my pride .
Very true bro... I totally agree with you but tend to disagree that Bob (blessed memory) is the best pan-africanist of our era. Nope.. it's up for debate... We need to create categories and x-ray their works and contributions to the pan-african struggle through those mirrors... Only then can we be able to say categorically who that big show fits... I think mine is Thomas Sankara...
best to come indeed beloved bro .. for 5%of all christians, & children below 12yrs old at the harpazo 20 or 21 MAY 2022 (depending in what part of the world one resides.) .. Rev 22: 20&21
I am from Nigeria I love this song like I play it almost every day but my problem is that I am hearing what the man is singing but I believe he preaching one Africa just like united state
Its unfortunate the citizenry are trying so hard to uplift themselves but our leaders are our downfall. Long Live Africa , a time will come when the youth will start voting out the wicked , old , greedy ,visionless and graft infested men from the halls of power.
Having been to most of African Countries, this song resonates very well with our cultures. I do not understand the language but I have played this song many a times from my 20's to today 40+/and still playing the record..... Salif you did justice to this song.......!all the team, from guitarist, drums, back singers and everyone...... Long live Africa. Writing from a lovely Dar es Salaam!
It's call Mandika, the language of the Mali empire. The oldest University in the World was established at Timbuktu in the Mali empire. The French stole books in Mental health and psychiatric medicine from the Universityof Timbuktu. They burned the University during their colonial rule..
I thought I was the only one thinking like that, we really lost an opportunity during the 2010 world cup to have this beautiful song as the opening of the world cup. What a song , what a melody and an expression of solidarity,unity and African celebration.
The legend Salif Keita, The late Cesaria Evora and Sona Jobarteh are soul singers. They are a very RARE type of artists who sings from the HEART and not mouth. They don't care about fame or monetary gain. They do what they LOVE
Wow can't stop listening to this song, I was dancing since my very young age, I'm now 40 still on it, the only song that managed to sound good and to unite All Africans, wish I can watch them in live performance 1 day-SOUTH AFRICA

Wishing all Africans a Happy Africa Day for the whole of this month. Salif Keita song is the BEST and should be the song for this year. Let's unite Africa.
Great music from a great man. I love this music. I am a Nigerian and do not understand his language but this track is one of my favourites, in my studio whenever I am creating beautiful houses in my studio as an Architect. Talent is it if you want the world to mind you.
Whaaaaaaaa! What a talent Salif Keita has. Singing live so flawless as if it is in the Recording Studio. Super indeed! Thumbs up to the Legend Salif Keita.
African ka can achieve a lot if we can unite. Africa is rich on its own. Wake up African child, this independence didn’t come cheap. I am proudly South African because of mother Africa and ANC 🖤💚💛✊🏿

This one of the classical music of our Beloved Continent. When I was introduced to him he introduced as the Yellow man. He went through a lot in his own country.
As a South African, we missed an opportunity to open the Fifa 2010 World Cup with this song. This was the song!
i agree with you, is the B.
The chance was not missed our great African weakness is that of not honoring and promoting African talents, we prefer Western talents at the expense of our great African Brothers and sisters.
Right.
the cup was not only for African people but all the world, but i understand u. ❤❤
the best African music
