Africalypso Lyrics by Lagbaja

Africano ...The Mother of Groove

2005

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 become soul
Some became rhythm and blues, swing, big band,
Bop, hip hop, funk, jazz, rap, reggae, raga
And some became calypso
The body can be enslaved but never ever the spirit
So wherever there’s soul in the music
Wherever the spirit moves the music
Whether in Trinidad and Tobago
Whether Brasilia, I say Brasilia
America, Europa, Australia, Asia
Wherever there’s soul in the music
Behinde it you find the African

Africalypso, Africalypso
Ah! Ayan, show them Africa
Eeeeee, Ooooo, Ayeele, Africa
Ikira o, Eee, Eee, Eee, Eh!
Ah! ..... Africalypso

Lagbaja, Lagbaja

Tamedu omo Lamorin
Lamorin omo Lakasegbe

Laado mom Lagbaja
Orin gbogbo,ilu gbogbo
Bo ba ti ba tijo wa, tia ni
Ani bo ba ti ba tijo wa
Tia ni
Bee fe e gbo
Bee fe e ko
Tia ni, tia ni, tia ni
Ikira, Eee,Eee, Eee, Eh!
Africalypso, Africalypso
