Interview
Maah Keita is the bass player
of the Senegalese band Takeifa,
whose members are all siblings.
Their music blends pop and
rock styles with African sounds
and has thousands of views on
YouTube. Their texts in Wolof,
French and English highlight
the diversity of African culture
and its openness to the world.

Maah carries this diversity
in her as she has albinism.
Her white skin and light hair
makes her look so special on
stage and in the videos of the
band. As an artist and woman
involved in the work of the Care
Albino association, she agreed
to answer our questions for R
magazine.
