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.

Plus rien ne m'étonne
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

Se repartieron el mundo
Y ya nada más me asombra
Y ya nada más me asombra
Y ya nada más me asombra
Si tú me das a Chechenia
Yo te doy a Armenia
Si tú me das a Afganistán
Yo te doy a Pakistán
Si no te quitas de Haití
Yo te embarco a Bangui
Ayúdame a bombardear Irak
Y te ayudo con el Kurdistán
Se repartieron el mundo
Y ya nada más me asombra
Y ya nada más me asombra
Y ya nada más me asombra
Si tú me das el uranio
Yo te doy el aluminio
Si me das los yacimientos
Te ayudo a cazar al talibán
Si tú me das un poco de trigo
Yo le hago la guerra a tu coste
Si me dejas extraer tu oro
Te ayudo a echar al general
Se repartieron el mundo
Y ya nada más me asombra
Y ya nada más me asombra
Y ya nada más me asombra
Se repartieron África
Y sin consultar
Y se asombran
De que estemos desunidos
Parte del imperio mandinga
Está donde los Wolofs
Parte del imperio Mossi
Está donde los Ghana
Parte del imperio Soussou
Está donde el imperio mandinga
Parte del imperio mandinga
Está donde los Mossi
Se repartieron África
Y sin consultar
Y sin preguntar
Hay, hay, hay y sin avisar
Se repartieron el mundo
Y ya nada más me asombra
Y ya nada más me asombra
Y ya nada más me asombra
