- This is Salif Keita, the legendary musician from Mali, who is considered as one of the most influential musicians on the African continent. Known as the “Golden Voice of Africa”, when Salif Keita decided to become a professional musician, he faced bigger difficulties than simply securing a gig.
The first challenge was that he was born with albinism, a condition widely discriminated against in Africa. Number two was that he comes from a royal family, descendants of Sunjata Keita, the 13th century founder of the Kingdom of Mali.

Hi everyone, for today's video I thought of doing something a little bit different. Do let me know if you like this type of content
I so much love it as far as it concerned Africa, please do that of south Africa 🇿🇦 Brenda Fassie , Koffi Olomide of DR Congo 🇨🇩 , Papa Wemba
I do because they all count, not just the politicians. 🙏🏿🖤
It's perfect
Yes please. You have touched on Fela Kuti and now this guy. There are still many to explore!
keep them coming awesome vidoe as always.
Salif Keita is an icon recognized throughout the country, and he deserves all respect and consideration.
The lyrics of his songs are deep in sense.
Africa Oh.
Africa oh my Africa.
Africa, Africa.
Africa, Africa yeh.
This evergreen track won't be leaving my head anytime soon.
I came across Salif Keita 11 years ago... enjoyed his rich music ever since... fan from Ethiopia 🇪🇹
His song titled Africa is my favorite
He's a living legend thanks for giving him his flowers
One of the greatest musician in Africa
This channel needs more subscribers.

Yes! We also need to know about artists and talented people of African descent!!! Please continue to Enlighten us!
Never heard about this man in Brazil... what a great chance do find new things in life! 😮 thank you for the great video my friend!!!
I remember during one of my radio presentation I talked about him including South Africa Brenda Fassie, Koffi Olomide of DR Congo 🇨🇩
I love this man
I met him in Toronto before a show. Recently found some early records of his from the 1970s but I haven't had a chance to listen to them.
This is good for a change
Great change, politicians are not the only African heroes and heroine.
There use to be a music festival that would be in the Sahara desert in Northern Mali that he would perform at. It us to be one of the best festival in West Africa. It is a shame that it no longer happens. Hopefully one day when things are peaceful again.
Makanyanya baba, tinobonga 👏🏾👏🏾
🙏
why not play some of his music???
