To mark the 75th birthday of Salif Keita (August 25), Decca Records France presents the first-ever vinyl release of "Anthology", an eleven track compilation (initially released in 2011 on CD/digitally). 

"Anthology" chronicles the career of one of Africa's finest vocalists, Salif Keita. From the international breakthrough of "Mandjou" in 1978 to "La Différence" in 2009, eleven tracks from seven of his albums are featured here. From the digital purity of "Cono" at the birth of World Music to the return to acoustic in the 2000s with the universal anthem "Nous pas bouger", these songs have written the history of one of the most fascinating African artists of recent decades. Throughout these eleven tracks, Salif Keita's voice soars, blossoms, matures and vibrates forever.
