Dzideƒo miadevio elabe ŋkeke la gbɔna!
Yo! Yo! ŋkeke la gbɔna.
Dzideƒo miadevio elabe ŋkeke la gogo
Yo! Yo!
(Cheer, my people, ‘cause the day is coming)
(Stand up, my people, ‘cause the day is almost there)
Ces choses que tu vois pas,
Enterrées dans les coeurs
Dans le silence des ténèbres
Ces choses que t'entends pas
Les colères, les pleurs.
C'est un peuple qui se soulève!
Derrière chaque regard, toute une histoire
À remplir des pages!
Derrière chaque silence, des cris de violence
Des mots qui se disent pas!
Du plus profond des âges,
Je tiens ce présage
Le monde changera de visage!
Une larme qui coule, ton univers qui chamboule
Entends les clameurs de la foule!
Derrière chaque regard, toute une histoire
À remplir des pages!
Derrière chaque silence, des cris de violence
Des mots qui se disent pas!
Dzideƒo miadevio elabe ŋkeke la gbɔna!
Yo! Yo! ŋkeke la gbɔna.
Dzideƒo miadevio elabe ŋkeke la gogo
Yo! Yo!
ŋkeke la gbɔna! ŋkeke la gbɔna...
(Cheer, my people, cause the day is coming
Stand up, my people, cause the day is almost there,
The day is coming, the day is coming, the day is coming ...)
Derrière chaque regard, toute une histoire
À remplir des pages!
Derrière chaque silence, des cris de violence
Des mots qui se disent pas!
Derrière chaque regard, toute une histoire
À remplir des pages!
Derrière chaque silence, des cris de violence
Des mots qui se disent pas!
Hidden People
Keep faith, my fellow countrymen 'cause the day is coming
Stand up my fellow countrymen 'cause the day is so close!
These things you don't see,
Buried in hearts, in the silence of darkness
These things you don't hear,
Anger and tears.
A people is rising in revolt!
Behind each stare, there's a whole story, to fill a book!
Behind each silence, there are screams of violence, unspoken words!
Deep from the past, I feel that omen.
The face of the world will change.
A single falling tear will mess up your whole world!
Hear the people shouting!!
Behind each stare, there's a whole story, to fill a book!
Behind each silence, there are screams of violence, unspoken words!
Behind each stare, there's a whole story, to fill a book!
Behind each silence, there are screams of violence, unspoken words!

Kodzo "Rock" AHAVI
The band’s originality stems from their music, “Asrafo-core” which is a fusion of hard rock/metal and African mystic and
warrior music.
Since 2010, ARKA’N ASRAFOKOR has paved its way on the Togolese music scene as an impressive hard rock metal band which creates, records and performs its own songs deriving their particular sound from the intense African character of their compositions....more

This might be the band that displaces Metallica as my favorite heavy metal band! It's heavy and has social commentary, which are my two favorite things in music. flannel_bear

They say you can't capture lightning in a bottle the second time. Someone should tell those people that Z&A is Zeus' homeboy.
Fantastic soul metal. Grimmrobe

If there ever was a timely album to sum up the United States in 2020, this is it. Elements of black metal, hymnals, call-and-response, sampled news audio, and Manuel's amazing voice come together to form a beautifully tortured sound.
The term 'avant-garde' is rightfully earned with every moment of this EP. mistermunn

What an impressive piece of black metal. This one-man hurricane is pure art. Sgah‘gahsowáh creates an haunting atmosphere. He puts so much soul in his music. Sælzer Bub
