Big honour to find our photos used as a Spotify avatar and cover of one of the greatest musicians of our time, West African pop-idol Salif Keita. ~7 millions listeners per month!
Originally the picture and the video, made by Urban Lys Photos (Ola Kovalevska) at the festival Leverkusener Jazz Tage in 2024, was used for the song art and cover of the remix to the song Bah Poulo feat. Gleison ProdMáfia and Wilson Arthur Kentura, released on April, 10, on One World Records. The remix got 11 mln. listeners during the 1st week! And then picture got spread through the platforms to the other profiles of the legendary artist.
Could not be more proud!
Thank you, One World Records and Carolina Vallejo for your trust.

🎯 : 🎧 Aly Keïta is a renowned balafon player from the Ivory Coast who is based in Berlin. We started working together in 2023, organising several photo shoots before this one. In preparation for the release of his new album, Balafon Evolution, the task was to showcase the balafon as a modern instrument with afrofuturistic vibes.

The idea of the location came up naturally, as we were already "charged" with the task when we accidentally passed through the tunnel, which became both a background and one of the objects of the session. The rhythmic pattern of the LED lights resembled the forms of the balafon, creating a special futuristic vibe.

The geometry worked together with the perfectly chosen look and colours. The task of emphasising Aly's unique performing style, modern approach to music and passion for his instrument was achieved through the close-up portrait, the bright red and fuchsia background, and, of course, the reflection in his glasses, which literally illustrates his obsession with balafon.

Of course, it would be boring to plan everything. Many things happened as a result of inspiration and attention to detail at the location. The final choice of picture to be used on the cover was made by the label One World Records, Carolina Vallejo.

One more review in press of our photography work!

"The cover of Keïta’s new solo CD, Balafon Evolution, depicts him as a pop star, with the balafon reflected in his glasses. And rightly so, because Keïta is a star and a virtuoso on the balafon."

Thank you for mentioning our work, Mattie Poels & musicframes.nl!
