In 1998 Nash moved to Abidjan, where she began infiltrating the underground environment with her music.

It was on this record that Nash used the Magic System's huge hit 1er Gaou to create her own version: 1er Djandou.
The song is about women returning to violent and dominant men. It is thus transformed into a defense of women's rights and emancipation. The success of 1ere Djandou took Nash to several African capitals (Lomé, Cotonou, Ouagadougou) and earned her supporting acts for Magic System.
In 2005 Nash collected a group of famous rappers and reggae toasters from the Ivory Coast. The band was called Gbonhi Yoyoyo (Hip Hop Family in Nouchy slang) and the intention was to spread joy and hope to the civil war struck Ivory Coast. The album Ya Koi Même, released in 2006, was a huge success and sent the band touring in Europe.
Nash has recently delivered a Nouchy guest appearance on the French rapper Mokobe's latest album: Mon Afrique. Her first solo album Ziés Dédjas (Open Eyes) is published by Nouchy Arts.

Nash Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
He was walking along the road
And I asked him,Tell where are you going?
This he told me
Said, I'm going down to Yasgur's Farm,
Gonna join in a rock and roll band.
Got to get back to the land and set my soul free.
[Chorus]
We are stardust, we are golden,
We are billion year old carbon,
And we got to get ourselves back to the garden.
Well, then can I walk beside you?
I have come to lose the smog,
And I feel like I'm a cog in something turning.
And maybe it's the time of year,
Yes and maybe it's the time of man.
And I don't know who I am,
But life is for learning.
[Chorus: x2]
By the time we got to Woodstock,
We were half a million strong
And everywhere was a song and a celebration.
And I dreamed I saw the bomber death planes
Riding shotgun in the sky,
Turning into butterflies
Above our nation.
We are stardust, we are golden,
We caught in the devil's bargain,
And we got to get ourselves back to the garden.
The song "Woodstock" by Graham Nash is a nostalgic and reflective tune that speaks to the cultural and political climate of the late 1960s. The opening verses of the song introduce the singer's encounter with a fellow traveler on the road, whom he asks where they are heading. The response is to Yasgur's farm, the location of the famous Woodstock music festival in August 1969. The traveler plans to join a rock and roll band and "get back to the land" and "set my soul free." The chorus that follows highlights the theme of the song, that humans are not separate from the natural world but are a part of it. This idea is expressed in the lyrics "we are stardust, we are golden, we are billion-year-old carbon." The chorus concludes with the statement that "we got to get ourselves back to the garden," which can be interpreted as a call to return to a more harmonious and natural way of living.

Above our nation.

It was a time of rapid change and all of the resulting societal upheaval that came with that change.
We still had people alive that were born in a world without electricity, or cars or running water.. much less hot running water. Or mattresses or refrigerators or washing machines or private bedrooms or...
Technology was just beginning it’s rapid progression. As a society we were still innocent. Still just human beings. Skinny healthy ones too!
Uncorrupted.. also uninterrupted by advertising and market/tech driven pop culture. There was one phone at home that the whole family used, which was sufficient given the only people that wanted to talk on the phone were largely just teenage girls.
No internet.. no computers!
Lucky if your house had a color tv!
But tv wasn’t important because we still had nature. Clear clean lakes and rivers with the sweetest water and full of fish, frogs and crawdads, lined with thick lush greenery. Floating docks and rope swings there for all to enjoy. And public pools and skating rinks and sports in the streets!
Traffic was only a thing that happened in big cities.
The population explosion is a big piece of the picture. In 1970 we were 203 million Americans, a huge jump from
181 million in 1960
152 million in 1950,
less than half of today’s population and the rough birthdate of someone who was at Woodstock to see CSNY play.
As a country we were still young and this country was still full of life and astounding natural beauty,
wide open spaces and seemingly infinite opportunity.

No cell phones. People would sit around and talk to each other, in person, for hours and hours. It was the best of times. People cared for others.
