He will donate 50% of the proceeds made from sales of his CD, The Silimbo Passage, over six months, to support the ICRC's work to protect and assist victims of war and other situations of violence. Keita chose the ICRC because he had come into contact with the humanitarian organization when he was a child in the Casamance (a region that has been affected by armed violence for the last 30 years). “The International Red Cross sparks memories from my youth. I didn't know what they were about but I knew they were doing good things,” he says. In August 2020, he sought contributions from musicians around the world to produce a charity single, Now Or Never, to support the ICRC's global response to the coronavirus pandemic. Personal life Keita moved to the UK in 1998 and currently lives in Sneinton, England.
