She is active in the alter-globalization movement with "La Rage Du Peuple," a collective (cf. English "clan" or "crew") formed in 2004 in the Noailles quarter of Marseille, and takes a clear stance against capitalism and fascism. She sympathizes with the Zapatistas in Chiapas.

Born in Marseille of Argentine heritage, Arkana began rapping in 1996. She formed the collectives Mars Patrie and later Etat-Major, gaining performance experience in the Marseilles underground scene, culminating in the 2003 release of Etat Major's first mixtape.

After several solo appearances on various projects, Arkana released her first EP "Le Missile est Lancé". Her first album "Entre ciment et Belle Etoile" was released in October 2006. Her first single, "La Rage," released in 2006, pointedly references the French civil unrest of 2005.

Keny Arkana Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

[g]Née dans un monde où les génocide sont toujours actuelles
Née dans un monde où certains crèvent de froid dans les ruelles
Née dans un monde où on exploite des gosses, on prostitue des gosses pour les besoins des capitalistes on tuerait même des gosses !
Née dans un monde où on se fiche de son prochain, il peut crever tout l' monde s'en tape suivant de ce qu'il a dans les poches
Née dans un monde une prison où leur ex trace
Un monde où les peuple partent en guerre sans savoir ce qu'il se passe
Née dans un monde où les questions n'ont aucunes réponse, stagnent
Née dans un monde contrôlé par des gens irresponsables

Née dans un monde amer éteint de trop d'espoir éteint soumis et aveuglément face à l'impérialisme américain
Née dans un monde individualisme et démentiel
Un monde qui en fait trop mais qui a perdu l'essentiel, immoral et ils aimeraient tous qu'on marche à la baguette
Rien à foutre de leurs règles tant que j' respecte ma vie et ma planète

(Merci à Julia pour cettes paroles)

Overall Meaning

These lyrics are from the song Medley by Keny Arkana, and they describe the harsh reality of the world we live in. The first two lines establish the tone of the song, highlighting the ongoing genocides and the people dying of cold on the streets. The following lines highlight the exploitation of children for the sake of capitalist needs, a world so twisted that it would even kill children. The song then references the lack of care people have for each other, where life and death situations are based on the amount of money people have in their pockets.

The world is portrayed as a prison, where the people are left in the dark about what's happening and led into wars without knowing what's really going on. The world is ruled by irresponsible leaders who have no answers for the questions people ask, leading to stagnation. The world is described as bitter and hopeless, lost in the face of American imperialism. It's a world that's obsessed with individualism and is insane, having lost sight of what's truly important. It has become immoral, and those who rule it would love nothing more than to have people dancing to their tune. However, the singer makes it clear that she doesn't give a damn about their rules as long as she's respectful of her life and the planet.

In summary, the lyrics of the song Medley are a scathing indictment of the cruel and unjust world we live in, where exploitation and death are commonplace, and the ruling class constantly manipulating the masses. But despite the harsh reality of the world, the singer remains defiant and determined to live her life on her own terms.
