Lagos anthem
Mode 9, 2Face Idibia, Jatt

Verse 1 - Mode 9
I reside in Lagos
City of hustlers
Everybody is in hurry
Traders and customers
Walkers get picked on the regular
If you are not street
You go pop with your cellular
You driving, I suggest you check rear view
Be careful because an okada just might be near you
Knock one of them down and the rest gon tear you
Into pieces
Eh yo!

Magic System, Les Elephants, Drogba - Football meets music

Tagged:  •    •    •    •    •    •    •    •    •  

Football is the passion of many African countries. It has been said that when the music of a state changes, the constituion changes too. Football and music are two things that Africans hold really dearly. When they are merged through songs, anthems and jams used to support football teams, it unites nations, tribes, people and neighbours. Football and music have a special relationship.

Due to some splendid performances by 'Les Elephants', Ivory Coast graced the occasion at the 2006 World Cup in Germany, the first time in a mundial for the West African country. Magic System composed a song together with various members of the national team that could be used to support the Elephants in the march to World Cup glory and beyond. Even though the Elephants couldn't progress out of the group stage, they left an indelible mark on the world stage and you bet that they will be a force in world football. Les Elephants

This video below was made for the song, a tribute by Magic System (of Premier Gaou fame) to the World Cup qualification. It features Ivorian stars like Didier Drogba, Bonaventure Kalou, Kolo Toure, Gilles Yapo Yapo, Bakari Kone, Arouna Kone, Aruna Dindane, Romaric, rocking the mic. Didier Drogba even did a solo song for the Ivorian president, Laurent Gbagbo at a pre-World Cup reception in Abidjan.

Premier Gaou video by Magic System

Tagged:  •    •    •    •    •    •  

This is the video for the famous Premier Gaou song by Ivory Coast's Magic System.
It is widely regarded as one of the biggest hits out of Africa to date, and has even been called a continental anthem.

There are a couple of instances that are testaments to this fact.
I happened to be at a Haitian students dinner/dance and at their party, Premier Gaou was the only Africa song played.
Another time, I was partying at a reggae/dancehall club and when the dj's bothered to recognise the Africans in the club, our presence was marked by the playing of Magic System's club banger.

Kudos to them!

Verse 1
Basically, I got beef
I wanna talk to you directly
I can't ignore, I can't escape
And that's cause, you affect me
You cripple me
You shackle me
You shatter my whole future in front of me
This energy, is killing me
I gotta let it pour like blood, Soobax

Chorus
Dadkii waa dhibtee nagala soobax

Dhiigi waad qubtee nagala soobax

The year 1963
The people's president
Was taken away by security men
All dressed in a uniform
The brutality, brutality
Oh, no, my black president
Him and his comrades
Were sentenced to isolation
For many painful years
For many painful years
Many painful years
Of hard labour
They broke ropes
But the spirit was never broken
Never broken
Oh, no, my, my black president

Hmm maa (3x)
Mama
Hmm maa (3x)
Mama

Hmm maa (3x)
Madiba
Hmm maa (3x)
