Salif Keita was born on a day that represents in the Mayan-Calendar "2-BAATZ"
which meens, he is the bridgebuilder and the keeper of Art and Cultur to the People.
He is able to bring consciousness and awareness and so he is doing a most important job. Thank you Salif Keita for your music. Love and Peace, Greatings from Germany.
I saw him perform at the sierra nevada world music festival back in 1997. I must say it was one of the best shows I ever seen he put the whole audience in complete trance and I love every minute of it.
Are you out of your mind? This is pure African music...not fela's crap. Ofcourse, fela was great but you cannot compare fela to Saleif Keita. I bet fela's music didn't touch any souol. This Salif Keita's music saves lives and that's what matters....not fela's ganja crap.....having sex on stage. I guess you were high-of-crack when you were writing this comments.
I just didn't like this song, but my god after awhile I think this guy is great! I was just really tired and wanted to listen to Fela. I think that Fela an Salif are both great. Sorry about that comment.=)
If more people heard Fela's words & acted on them, it would save entire cultures, countries and that's beyond Africa too. Every music has its purpose.
Malian and African music have taken hold of my heart as have the Malian people. Salif is one of my favorite. Although I have visited Mali twice, I have never had the opportunity to attend his performances. My loss. I ni baraje Salif! A be donkilidelala. Ala tando!
I just want to say thank you for that clever comment made by KAMERUNITE. Well said, Their is great music all over, expand your music library by listen to more than what you hear or see from the media.
his talking about the lower class people not to despair and wip not tears. saying'' those with children show off god will give you children,thos ewith weath show off god will give you weath also , those with parents show off god will give you parents so dont cry''. the song is to encourage people not to cry and be sad when you lose something or someone whose important to you. its wonderful i love listening to the song coz it says' god makes this all happen for god as power of all''. peace
The only benefit of African music being undervalued is that you can see absolutely fantastic concerts for a great price in a small cafe-like setting. I'm European, and have seen many great artists: Salif Keita, Youssou N'Dour, Babaa Maal, Cheb Mami, Cheb Kaled, Angelique Kidjo, Habib Koite, Papa Wemba, Kanda Bongo Man, Olivier Mtukudzi, etc, etc.
American is what it is because American has the means to promote and sell their Music, just as their way of life. Everything American is fashionable bacause america owns all the major highways of communication. What does Africa have? Everyone know Beyonce, but no one knows Johnny Haliday for the simple reason that France cannot sell Johnny to the world. the minute Africans can sell their music to CNN/MSNBC/MTV, you will get more respect for African Music.
Yes this is music... Its too bad the young dont know what brilliant artist is... I love Salif.but I would love to find: Nder & Le Setsima Group.Super S.T Thoif. The song is called: Super Thiof.I tried looking everywhere for that song...If anyone knows where I can find it that would be great.. please post on this site! thanks.
Indeed, Africans are undervalued. This is class and you don't see and hear these brilliant artists on popular world music programmes. All you see is Rihana, 50-Cent, Kanye West. Man, this is music! I'm proud to be an African; let the world call us poor.
Yes this is music... Its too bad the young dont know who and what brilliant artist are... I love Salif. I actually discovered Salif muisc by mistake.but I would love to find: Nder & Le Setsima Group.Super S.T Thoif.
