Lagbaja - Africalypso (Audio)

Описание: From the CD: Africano - The Mother of Groove

Lyric:

Africalypso, Africalypso
Some four hundred years ago
They took away my forefathers
From Africa to America
My forefathers took along their music
And some became jazz
Some became soul
Some became rhythm and blues
Swing, big band, bop, hip hop, funk, jazz, rap, reggea, ragga,
And some became calypso
The body can be enslaved but never ever the spirit
So whereever there is soul in the music
Whereever the spirit moves the music
Whether in Jamaica, whether for Cuba
Even in Trinidad and Tobago
Whether Brasilia, I say Brasilia
America, Europa, Australia, Asia
Whereever there is soul in the music
Behind it you find the African

Africalypso, Africalypso
Ah! Ayan, show them Africa

[Talking drum interlude]

Eeeeee, Ooooo
Ayeele, Africa
Ikira o, Eee, Eee, Eee, Eh!
Ah!, Africalypso
