Salif Keïta - Festival de jazz de Leverkusen 2024

Directed by Peter Sommer

In 2018, Salif Keïta announced his intention to end his career. To the delight of his fans, he reversed his decision. Now 70 years old, the Malian musician continues to perform on stages around the world. For more than 50 years, the Malian musician has made openness to cultures from other countries and continents his unwavering credo. As the years go by, this apostle of musical fusion has lost none of his curiosity or creativity. Salif Keïta continues to celebrate the marriage of West African traditions with elements borrowed from rock, funk, and jazz. A true living icon, the "golden voice of Africa" is also one of the most charismatic ambassadors of music from the African continent.
