Afrobeat
About
Pulsing with intricate polyrhythmic percussion and funky bass grooves, this Afrobeat anthem drives forward with bold brass horn riffs and electrifying call-and-response vocals demanding justice and empowerment. Extended improvisational solos on saxophone and trumpet ignite communal rebellion, captured in raw, live-oriented production full of unpolished energy and West African spirit.
Lyrics
Drums build crowd murmurs rise hey hey hey drums build crowd murmurs rise hey wake up we steal our dreams in the dead of night no more chains of grief hold us down so tight we break free. Voices silence pockets lined with lies from the shadows from the shadows we claim the light from the shadows we claim the light rise now rise now. Lift us up cross other people thunder in the vein no more hunger no more pain dance in the rebellion break every chain. Africa spirit. Forever reign. We are one! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!
