Exclusif: Baaba Maal, Youssou Ndour, Salif Keïta à la Une de Rolling Stone
Three great legends of African music, Baaba Maal, Youssou Ndour, and Salif Keïta, have been warmly honored by the American magazine Rolling Stone. They are featured on the cover of this month's April issue. A beautiful image, celebrated by fans and music enthusiasts alike. According to the American magazine, these three magnificent African voices belong to a rare lineage of musicians whose voices have shaped not only the sound, but also history.
"Across decades, borders and generations, these three icons have carried Africa with them, faithfully, directly and powerfully. They did not follow global trends; they defined them. They did not dilute their identity to be understood; they enriched the world's understanding of Africa. Each, in their own way, represents a pillar of what African music has become, and what it has always been," the magazine states.
Reached by Seneweb, Baaba Maal, lead singer of the group "Dandé Leñol," said it was an honor and a great pleasure to see such a prestigious magazine take an interest in their career. He believes it's a wonderful idea to retrace the legendary journey of voices that have always carried Africa and its diaspora to the international stage.
Youssou Ndour, Baaba, and Salif Keïta represent a generation that redefined the history of African music in many ways, earning numerous international accolades and creating songs that have stood the test of time. They have left their mark on music history and continue to do so by paving the way for a new generation of African singers.
It is worth remembering that Rolling Stone is an American bi-monthly magazine dealing with culture but with a predominantly musical focus, created in San Francisco in 1967.
