RELEASE SINGLE & VIDEO
"ELLE NE REPOND PLUS"
ASHA D & ARTIKAL BAND
FRIDAY APRIL 27, 2023
We can't stop it!
The prolific artist returns this time to a hypnotic roots reggae with conscious and deep lyrics.
Sensitive to the world around her, it is in times of war that Asha D takes the mic to talk about peace.
The theme is current but it clearly underlines here the multifaceted aspect of violence, especially in the music world with texts that have promoted and trivialized it for decades.
As often, his sidekick Marie-Annick Nsilulu provides the vocal backing while Artikal Band takes care of transmitting to us this very rootsy groove of which he keeps the secret.
The video is by Dr Vegas and Boris Axel.
He is accompanied by Artikal Band, Backing band reggae, formed in 1995 in Montpellier in France. From 2010 until today the group has forged its experience through unexpected artistic encounters over the years.
