Afrobeat
About
Pulsing with intricate polyrhythmic percussion and funky bass grooves, this Afrobeat anthem unleashes bold brass horn riffs and electrifying call-and-response singing to rally against political corruption. Extended improvisational jams build communal energy, blending raw analog recordings with driving West African rhythms for an unpolished, live-oriented protest groove. High-energy layers evoke Fela Kuti's spirit, demanding justice through danceable rebellion.

We'll see you next time. Bye-bye. To a distant drum Yearning for circuit Where to become one Oh, this future is just a glowing bird Racing through the stars into the light Pulsing waves Carry me away In your tomorrow I'll forever stay Rippling currents Rippling currents Under crystal skies Audio fire In our coated eyes Gates of rhythm Open wide And true pulling souls Across the divide To you Oh, this future is just Longing birds Racing through the stars Into the light Pulsing waves Carry me away In your tomorrow I'll forever stay oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh this future is just longing burns racing through the stars into the light pulsing waves carry me away in your tomorrow I'll forever stay forever stay in the endless flight futuristic longing holds me tight
