Lyrics
Every rhythm now lives inside my chest
Every instrument has left its print
From guembri bass to kora gold
The continent wrote itself in sound
Afro Nova the continent runs through my veins
Afro Nova the continent runs through my veins
Through my veins
Through my veins
The desert gave me its silence
The jungle gave me its voice
The ocean gave me its horizon
The savanna gave me its choice
The journey began with a bass note in a medina
And ends with the same note echoing from a different shore
Afro Nova the continent glows from inside
Afro Nova the continent glows from inside
Glows from inside
Glows from inside
From Marrakech the guembri hums
From Kora Sunset the strings catch fire
From the Serengeti the nyatiti sighs
And Kilimanjaro lifts the light up higher
I close my eyes and hear them all
Twenty instruments in twenty lands
The continent has given everything
And asks for nothing but these open hands
