Belgium-based Guinean singer-songwriter N'Faly Kouyaté released a new song “Premiers pas” on February 2, 2024.
The song is accompanied by a Kabelo Sebake-directed music video, which depicts Africa's journey to freedom, celebrating cultural diversity and the inner strength of its people.
The video was filmed in South Africa. He sheds light on similar phenomena in daily life, such as workplace abuse of power, domestic violence, and many others.
The track was written by N'Faly Kouyate and Nicolas D'haeveloose. Produced by Nico D’Avell.
The song offers a poignant reflection on Africa's tumultuous history, exposing suffering, terror, and an unquenchable thirst for freedom. The lyrics, merging French and Malinké languages, reflect Africa's fervent call for total autonomy.
N'Faly Kouyaté said of the song, “I am raising a cry with 'Premiers Pas' to demand total autonomy for Africa. This song is the expression of the determination of an entire continent to finally take control of its destiny.”- source : Apple Music
