Magic System, Les Elephants, Drogba - Football meets music

Tagged:  •    •    •    •    •    •    •    •    •  

Football is the passion of many African countries. It has been said that when the music of a state changes, the constituion changes too. Football and music are two things that Africans hold really dearly. When they are merged through songs, anthems and jams used to support football teams, it unites nations, tribes, people and neighbours. Football and music have a special relationship.

Due to some splendid performances by 'Les Elephants', Ivory Coast graced the occasion at the 2006 World Cup in Germany, the first time in a mundial for the West African country. Magic System composed a song together with various members of the national team that could be used to support the Elephants in the march to World Cup glory and beyond. Even though the Elephants couldn't progress out of the group stage, they left an indelible mark on the world stage and you bet that they will be a force in world football. Les Elephants

This video below was made for the song, a tribute by Magic System (of Premier Gaou fame) to the World Cup qualification. It features Ivorian stars like Didier Drogba, Bonaventure Kalou, Kolo Toure, Gilles Yapo Yapo, Bakari Kone, Arouna Kone, Aruna Dindane, Romaric, rocking the mic. Didier Drogba even did a solo song for the Ivorian president, Laurent Gbagbo at a pre-World Cup reception in Abidjan.

In Ghana
Step off the plane
Kotoka Airport, Accra
Soccer is our favorite sport
Aha!
In Ghana

There go the caddies
Here, take ma bag to the taxi
I'm in Ghana men
Tune from Ranks, Shabba and Priest Maxi
In Ghana

It's shaygaylaygay with the Reggae
Eating abele and groundnuts
Some ice kenkey or abebe
Doesn't even sounds nuts
In Ghana

Here, smiles are free
They are not by force
They are not fake
We have a lot of peace officers
And very few jakes

Cool sea breeze
Very bearable weather
When we say it's our pleasure
We really mean it's our pleasure
In Ghana

Ghana, Hail the Name of Ghana

God bless our homeland Ghana
And make our nation great and strong
Bold to defend for ever
The cause of Freedom and of Right
Fill our hearts with true humility
Make us cherish fearless honesty,
And help us to resist oppressors' rule
With all our will and might for evermore

Big dreams - sometimes I try to make them true

Big dreams - Sometimes I try to make them true ...Sounds on da ground and seens on the see-ins

I have always had great ambition, big dreams and difficult goals I set for myself. Maybe it stems from the heights people around me have reached or the joy that comes with accomplishment. These traits could have been embedded in my personality because of the environment I grew up in and other situations I found myself in. So when I heard the 'lyrics' of Wutah's 'Big dreams' the other day, I wondered if other people who may not have been academically, socially and financially fortunate like me also had 'big dreams'. If they did, how did they realise them?
