Hi everyone,

I'm Marco and live in Johannesburg.
Surprisingly I love music and guitars. I like many genres, from classical to jazz, blues, rock, ...
If there's an artist that I love the most, it has to be Salif Keita.

Happy jammin'!

(that was a short intro)
    Welcome to the show that never ends...........
      Salif Keita? Cool! There's a name not mentioned enough on the forum... welcome and have fun...
        Welcome Marco.
        Ja that whole African vibe is interesting. He is good, although I've only heard it now for the first time.
          Hello Marco, and welcome to the forum............

          Yep, I also like Salif Keita.........some of the tracks I sometimes jam with are "Seydou", "Nyanyama", and "Nyanafin" (which also features one of my all-time-favourite guitarists........Carlos Santana...)...

          If you like Salif, you should also listen to Youssou N'Dour, (though a vocalist), he has an incredible guitarist in his band, Mamadou ‘Jimmy’ Mbaye. If fact his band is brilliant. Definitely high on my African bands list.

            Aubs, he's only just joined the forum. Please don't scare him away.
              Welcome. I remember particularly liking that song called Toutes Les Femmes Sont Des Rennes.

                  Wow Aubs1! Respect!
                  Seydou is one of my all time favourite song. Have you listened to Keita's latest album: 'La Différence'? He recorded a different version of Seydou, but the one on the Folon album is still the best.

                    Isn't Ismael Lo who sings that? He's great as well.

                      No, unfortunately don't have that album........ but I will make a plan and get it....... strange hey, how the first version you hear almost always seems better.

                        Very true! Mandjou is a perfect example.
                          Saw salif keita live a couple of years back in cape town. was awesome!!
