I just discovered this man's amazing music this evening -- a live concert recorded in 2010 at Rasa, Utrecht (NL) was being broadcast on Concertzender (the best Dutch radio station for non-mainstream music). And then, to my dismay, I discovered that he passed away only a few weeks ago, on 10 October 2016. What a fabulous talent; how sad he is no longer with us.
I've always heard that the original Celts were black,after hearing this music I can definitely hear and see the deep connection to ancient Moorish Africa and Moorish/Celtic Europe especially Ireland/Scotland/Wale/England/France.salam to Issa my brother.
Here in St. Louis ,Mo. we have the AFRICAN ARTS FESTIVAL .every summer for three days ,the memorial day weekend , and about ten years ago we got one of your cd's and have been jamin it ever since.Good to hear more of your sounds.
I'm so saddened to announce the death of this wonderful, magical man and tremendous musician and singer.I post this song in loving memory of a truly great artist. I cannot express just how sad I am today.

A very sad passing indeed.
His albums are all brilliant - you should hear them if you can.

Joshua Beldo The connection has long been thought to exist, and as you say, it can be heard in the music.
Currently obsessed with this artist

Absolutely awesome!
I saw him in Los Angeles a couple of times. The guy is just great!
ISSA KEITA - I saw him in Paris some years ago - a totally memorable show! His albums are full of glorious music.
+Baba I LOVE Issa Bayagogo. Such an amazing voice and the energy that flows !! I can only imagine how awesome the show was !! :D
Nous aimons votre expression - c'est le cas rock! :-)
His albums are a real ear opener and even better that I could describe - unless you already have them, get them if you can.

I was enjoying this so much. Found Issa a few months back on Spotify and love his stuff. RIP
Tom Murray I'm happy to hear that.
You must try to get his albums - all are sublime - the genuine taste of Mali and Africa.
