Description
Hello listeners, welcome to The African Narratives where we celebrate the diverse stories, cultures, and experiences of Africa. This is truly a special episode as Africa Web TV recently had the distinct honour of sitting down with one of Africa's most legendary musicians and a true vocal powerhouse. With a voice that resonates through the ages, and melodies that transcend cultural boundaries, he is none other than the renowned Salif Keita, the "Golden Voice of Africa." Beyond the stage, Salif Keita's advocacy work has ignited a global movement for the rights and acceptance of individuals with albinism. We delve into the motivations behind his tireless efforts and how his music has become a beacon of hope for the marginalised. We met Salif Keita backstage for this interview shortly after his mesmerising set during the 2023 edition of the Sfinks festival in Belgium. Salif Keita told us he was not comfortable doing the interview in English but as I could not speak a word of French, he agreed to try and help us out! Apologies or the sound quality. As indicated earlier, the interview was backstage of the Sfinks Festival and the sounds of the other artists filtered through into our microphones! So, without further ado, Join us as we embark on a captivating conversation with the iconic Salif Keita, an artist, an activist, and a living testament to the transformative power of music.
