Tiken Jah was born into a family of griots and christened Doumbia Moussa Fakoly on June 23, 1968 in Odienne, north-western Côte d'Ivoire. He discovered reggae at an early age, assembling his first group, Djelys, in 1987. He became well-known at a regional level, but would soon ascend to national recognition.
Concerned by the social and political evolution of his country, it was not long before Tiken Jah was writing incisive works on the political environment in Côte d'Ivoire. One such work was on the death of Felix Houphouet-Boigny in 1993, which resulted in a surge of popularity amongst the nation's youth. In 1998, Fakoly made his first international appearance in Paris.
Tiken Jah Fakoly plays music "to wake up the consciences". His music speaks about many injustices done to the people of his country, and those over Africa. As such, African listeners feel a deep affinity with his lyrics as Fakoly speaks for people whom are under oppression. This connection has helped make Tiken Jah Fakoly a much-listened artist throughout both Europe and Africa.

Tiken Jah Fakoly Lyrics
Ils ont partagé le monde, plus rien ne m'étonne
Si tu me laisses la Tchétchénie,
Moi je te laisse l'Arménie
Si tu me laisses l'Afghanistan
Moi je te laisse le Pakistan
Si tu ne quittes pas Haïti,
Moi je t'embarque pour Bangui
Si tu m'aides à bombarder l'Irak,
Moi je t'arrange le Kurdistan
Ils ont partagé le monde, plus rien ne m'étonne
Si tu me laisses l'uranium
Moi je te laisse l'aluminium
Si tu me laisses tes gisements,
Moi je t'aide à chasser les Talibans
Si tu me donnes beaucoup de blé,
Moi je fais la guerre à tes côtés
Si tu me laisses extraire ton or,
Moi je t'aide à mettre le Général dehors
Ils ont partagé le monde, plus rien ne m'étonne
Ils ont partagé Africa sans nous consulter,
Ils s'étonnent que nous soyons désunis !
Une partie de l'empire Mandingue,
Se trouva chez les Wolofs,
Une partie de l'empire Mossi
Se trouva dans le Ghana,
Une partie de l'empire Soussou
Se trouva dans l'empire Mandingue,
Une partie de l'empire Mandingue
Se trouva chez les Mossis
Ils ont partagé Africa sans nous consulter,
Sans nous demander, sans nous aviser !
Ils ont partagé le monde, plus rien ne m'étonne

If you leave me your deposits,
Si tu me laisses tes gisements,
I help you hunt the Taliban
Moi je t'aide à chasser les Talibans
If you give me a lot of wheat,
Si tu me donnes beaucoup de blé,
I'm going to war with you
Moi je fais la guerre à tes côtés
If you let me extract your gold,
Si tu me laisses extraire ton or,
I help you to put the General out
Moi je t'aide à mettre le Général dehors

They shared Africa without consulting us,
Ils ont partagé Africa sans nous consulter,
They are surprised that we are disunited!
Ils s'étonnent que nous soyons désunis !
Part of the Mandingo empire,
Une partie de l'empire Mandingue,
Was at the Wolofs,
Se trouva chez les Wolofs,
Part of the Mossi empire
Une partie de l'empire Mossi
Was in Ghana,
Se trouva dans le Ghana,
Part of the Soussou empire
Une partie de l'empire Soussou
Was in the Mandingo empire,
Se trouva dans l'empire Mandingue,
Part of the Mandingo Empire
Une partie de l'empire Mandingue
Was at the Mossis
Se trouva chez les Mossis
They shared Africa without consulting us,
Ils ont partagé Africa sans nous consulter,
Without asking, without notifying us!
Sans nous demander, sans nous aviser !
They shared the world, nothing surprises me anymore
Ils ont partagé le monde, plus rien ne m'étonne
