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?s 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?s soul in the
music
Behind it you find the African
Africalypso, Africalypso
Ah! Ayan, show them Africa
Eeeeee, Ooooo
Ayeele, Africa
Ikira o, Eee, Eee, Eee, Eh!
Ah!?.Africalypso
