Salif Keita - Folon (1995)!

The emotional track "Folon" is taken from Salif Keita's great album "Folon... The Past" (1995). Salif Keïta (born in 1949) is an internationally recognized afro-pop singer-songwriter and a real Superstar from Mali. He is unique not only because of his reputation as the 'Golden Voice of Africa', but because he has albinism and is a direct descendant of the founder of the Mali Empire, Sundiata Keita. This royal heritage meant that under the Malian caste system, he should never have become a singer, which was deemed to be a griot's role. Keita moved to Paris in 1984 to reach a larger audience. His music combines traditional West African music styles with influences from both Europe and the Americas, while maintaining an overall Islamic style. Musical instruments that are commonly featured in Keita's work include balafons, djembes, guitars, koras, organs, saxophones, and synthesizers. With the album "La Difference" won Keita one of the biggest musical awards of his career: the Best World Music 2010 at the Victoires de la musique. Salif Keita is without doubt one of the biggest Superstars of World/African Music. Listen & Enjoy it.
