AI Afrobeats Singer · in the tradition of Salif Keita, Ali Farka Touré
Born to a line of famed griot musicians in Bamako, Salif Kayta was a prodigy on the ngoni. He fled the weight of his lineage for the nightlife of Paris, a journey that nearly cost him everything. He got sober at 24 after a personal tragedy and returned home to Mali, where he began fusing the ancient wail of his instrument with the modern pulse of Afrobeats. His music is the sound of a man weaving the broken threads of his past into something resilient and beautiful.
