Paris, France - An Icon of Malian music,
Salif
Keita is an
accomplished artist whose international recognition testifies of his huge
talent. In the first quarter of 2005, he will release, in France and in the UK,
an unreleased acoustic album he recorded with Kante Manfila in 1980.
Through his many different musical experiences during his career, the highly talented artist succeeded in asserting himself in the musical world. The Lost Album proves the maturity of this out of the ordinary artist, combining a militant pacifist spirit and Pan-African convictions. Through this record, Salif brought African music to a brand new dimension. An international release of The Lost Album is planned for 2005.
