Globally acclaimed music phenomenon Africa Express is back with a brand new studio album titled ‘Africa Express presents... Bahidorá’, recorded in Mexico and bringing together artists and musicians from four continents. The boundary-breaking music collective has, for over two decades, united artists across countries and genres in radically creative collaborations in which anything can, and does, happen.

With the idea of bringing together artists from different cultures, genres, and generations to perform and make music, Africa Express was founded in 2006 with a trip to Mali connecting local stars Toumani Diabaté, Bassekou Kouyaté and Amadou & Mariam with artists including co-founder Damon Albarn, Martha Wainwright and Fatboy Slim.

Each Africa Express outing is unique, filled with spontaneous moments of magic, collaboration and discovery. In 2024, Africa Express headlined Mexico’s Bahidorá Festival, a trip which saw an extraordinary group of musicians, singers and DJs from around the world come together to rehearse, perform and write new music on the banks of the ancient springs of Bahidorá. The result is ‘Africa Express presents... Bahidorá,’ a completely original, one-off collection of 21 songs showcasing an exceptional line-up of talent from across Mexico, South America, Africa, the U.S. and U.K. including:

Abou Diarra - Baba Sissoko – Bonobo - Bootie Brown - Damon Albarn - Django Django - Eme Malafe - Fatoumata Diawara - Hak Baker – Imarhan - Joan As Police Woman – Jupiter & Okwess - La Bruja de Texcoco - Los Pream - Luisa Almaguer - M.anifest - Mare Advertencia - Mexican Institute of Sound - Moonchild Sanelly - Nick Zinner (Yeah Yeah Yeahs) – Onipa - Otim Alpha - Poté - Son Rompe Pera – Tayhana & more

‘Africa Express presents... Bahidorá’ is a remarkable collection of songs. A mind-blowing sonic journey originating in Mexico and encompassing a rich list of musical traditions from Latín to Urban; reggaeton to rap; Kuduro to Cumbia; Oaxacan mixe brass to Salsa; as well as folk, hip hop and pop, this is an album like no other.



Lyrics
Tu cuerpo en resistencia (Your body in resistance)
Y tus ojos la tristeza (and your eyes in sadness)
(Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah)

Me licuan y confrontan (They liquefy me and confront me)
Los nudos en tu espalda (The knots in your back)
(Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah)

No es una pregunta (It's not a question)
Fácil de responder (that’s easy to answer)
(Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah)

Cuando alguien habla solo con la verdad (When someone speaks only the truth)
Habla menos que los demás (they talk less than the others)
Habla menos que los demás (they talk less than the others)

Te propongo algo quitarnos la ropa (I'll tell you what. Take off our clothes)
Y hacernos así (And make us like this)

Tu sonrisa es la entereza (Your smile is the whole)
Pudo con toda violencia (He could with all violence)
(Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah)

La neurodivergencia (neurodivergence)
Siempre suma belleza (Is always the most beautiful)
(Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah)

Hacer gárgaras con bicarbonato (Gargling with baking soda)
Tú ves mejor con los ojos cerrados (You see better with your eyes closed)
(Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah)

Cuando alguien habla solo con la verdad (When someone speaks only the truth)
Habla mеnos que los demás (they talk less than the others)
Habla menos quе los demás (they talk less than the others)
Te propongo algo quitarnos la ropa (I'll tell you what. Take off our clothes)
Y hacernos así (And make us like this)

Cuando alguien habla solo con la verdad (When someone speaks only the truth)
Habla menos que los demás (they talk less than the others)
Habla menos que los demás (they talk less than the others)
Te propongo algo quitarnos la ropa (I'll tell you what. Take off our clothes)
Y hacernos así (And make us like this)

Pensamientos que rebasan (Thoughts that go beyond)
Siempre a contracorriente (Always go against the current)
Ojalá haya un doctor que nos trate bien (I wish there was a doctor who would treat us well)
