Libérez l’Afrique is a recently released song which means Liberate Africa and the title says it all. The song which was sang by Douala based artist Toujours, sends a message that Africa is the cradle of humanity, but for many centuries, Africa has been and still is the victim of several criminal and inhuman abuses by the European and American powers. Today, artist Toujours protests against all this in his latest single entitled “Liberate Africa”, a single that has a very revealing message, a message that reflects the tiredness that many Africans are showing today. because the evil is too deep.
In the song, Toujours was able to get his message across in the most audible and direct way and he is able to express in a few words all the evils of which Africa has already encountered and is still a victim when he sings about the CFA Franc, a currency used in Central African countries that is only likely to keep Africa in a position of poverty because it is a currency that is not controlled by Africa, as only France controls this currency control. Toujours also speaks of all the great men of Africa who were killed by settlers, he also talks about the wars that the colonists started to safeguard their interests. Thus, killing millions of Africans.
The message in libérez l’Afrique is very clear and this is a call to the collective conscience of all Africans so that they all rise up as one to drive out all its colonists who plunder and keep Africa in captivity. Watch and listen to the lyrics.
