或许没有一名歌手象Salif Keita这样具有高贵的血统，他的祖先据说可以追溯到1240年建立马里王朝的Soundjata Keita，然而他虽拥有皇族血统，却宁愿抛弃一切，甚至不再被父亲承认，也要追寻自己的梦想，做一名歌手。1987年发表了其首张专辑Soro，结合非洲，爵士以及R

Salif Keita gave up a lot to pursue his dreams of a career in music. Born to royal lineage, with ancestral roots going back to Soundjata Keita, the founder of the Malian Empire in 1240, Keita was disowned by his father after announcing his plans to play music. Keitas dreams, however, were too strong to be shattered. Moving to the capitol city of Bamako in 1967, he was soon playing in nightclubs with one of his brothers. Within two years, he was invited to join the Rail Band. A popular, government-sponsored group that played regularly at the Buffet Hotel de la Gare, the Rail Band featured influential Malian guitar player Kante Manfila. Keitas soulful singing soon brought the band to a much higher plateau. In 1973, Keita and several members of the Rail Band relocated to Abidjian, the capitol of Cote dIvoire (The Ivory Coast). Renamed Les Ambassadeurs Internationaux, the group continued to attract attention with their lively fusion of Cuban, Zairean, and Malian influences.
In 1977, Keita received the prestigious National Order of Guinea from President Ahmed Sekou Toure. Encouraged to pursue a solo career, Keita moved to Paris in 1984. Settling in the citys Montreuil section, he found a thriving community of more than 15,000 transplanted Malians. Predictions of success proved true with the release of Keitas debut solo album, Soro, in 1987. Produced by Ibrahim Sylla, the album combined African, jazz, funk, Europop, and R&B influences. Keita continued his recording career with several releases for Mango throughout the 90s, including the Mansa of Mali anthology, before moving to Blue Note for Papa in 1999 and then Decca, where he debuted with Moffou in 2002. Moffou was considered some of Keitas finest work to date, and he received a Grammy nomination for the album. Keita then returned to Bamako, Mali, in order to record his next full-length effort, MBemba, which came out in 2006.

- @卡米特：早上BBC的节目里有篇来自马里的报道，其中有对Salif Keita的采访。2010年4月的哈拉雷国际艺术节上，Keita获邀在闭幕式上献唱，有幸在现场欣赏了演出，第二天还在他住的酒店聊了会儿。作为一名白化病患者，Keita用他的艺术天赋证明了自己，赢得了世人尊重。
