Association and other honors punctuate his résumé. FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 2
The music of Malian musician Salif Keita, one of the most
beloved artists on the continent, translates his burning desire as a
person with Albinism, the white man with the deep soul of Black
Africa, to escape from a society that was denying him his full rights
as a human being. The names of his bands paradoxically express Salif
Keita’s uncompromising pride of belonging to Mali and Manden, the
legendary land of his birth, whose captivating Humanism he has been
championing around the world for decades. The Patriarch and the
undisputed Ambassador of African music tours with Un Autre Blanc,
the album he has announced as his last. Ready to celebrate 50 years
of a stellar career in music, this album continues Salif’s advocacy for
the human rights of people with Albinism, a fight his Foundation for
Albinism pledges to intensify.
