The African Soul Rebels Make Noise in the UK
The African Soul Rebels are back to the UK. The 4th installment of the hugely successful African Soul Rebels UK tour promises to be the finest yet. From Mali to Nigeria, the 2008 line up brings together some of Africa's greatest musical names: Salif Keita, Tony Allen and Awadi.

African Soul Rebels Tour 2008 featuring Salif Keita, Tony Allen and Awadi
UK - After three series of acclaimed concerts, the African Soul Rebels tour has raised its game further for 2008, uniting two legends and a young groundbreaker for 10 nights. A West African spectacular, the tour features Mali’s Salif Keita, perhaps the finest singer the continent has ever produced, Tony Allen, the man who put the beat in Nigeria’s Afrobeat, and Awadi, the latest hero of Senegal’s fertile rap scene.

A soul rebel to the core, Salif Keita’s life has been one of confounding expectations. Because of his noble surname, he should never have been a singer; as an albino he was considered an outcast from the day he was born. Now, more than 40 years after he became a musician, ...
