ASHA D & ARTIKAL BAND

FRIDAY JANUARY 20, 2023

To start the year, They Lie is a meditative Roots Reggae track, Asha D is the songwriter, drummer and lead vocalist.

Artikal Band are the musicians with whom he has been performing since the mid-90s... At a time when corruption, disguised or not, is at the heart of the news for many, It is time to focus on it. The population is witness to a large number of lies

organized by the States. Far from the values that we wish for our children.

This piece is a wink, a dedication to our leaders in constant search of their interests, before those of the population. An open letter, too, to our dear Freedom of Expression
