1) Toofan … Read Full Bio ↴There are two different known artists that go by Toofan.
1) Toofan Ataee (Persian: طوفان عطایی), Astara, Iran - 2012 L.A. US, an Iranian-American pop star.
2) Toofan is a musical group founded in 2005 in Togo composed of Mastajust and Barabas.
They are childhood friends who grew up together: Masterjust (Fatowou Kossivi Sourou), mixer of the group, Barabas (Blaise Mensah Ayaho) known as “The Magician”, rapper of the group, and Allone (Akue Goeh Adote), singer and mixer.
Being three at the start of their career, they now form a duo composed of Masterjust and Barabas, Allone having emigrated to Europe where he continues his musical career. They are the authors of the concept “ogbragada” which is a musical mixture of hip-hop and African rhythm in general and Togolese in particular.
In 2006, on the occasion of Togo's participation in the World Cup, the trio composed an anthem for the national team, the Eperviers du Togo titled Eperviers Ogbragada. The same year, after the departure of the third member Allone, the duo Master Just and Barabas launched a new concept: “cool-catché”. The instrumental and choreography were new in the West African musical sphere. The group is also known for a new concept, “Gweta”, which appeared in 2013 and whose gestures aim to “dodge the jealous”. The Gweta is a collective creation between Toofan and the group Tach Noir.
The group composed the anthems for the 2012 and 2015 African Cup of Nations. The group signed with Universal Music France in 2017. Toofan was awarded as best African pop artist and best African group at the All Africa Music Awards 2017, then as best African group and best French-speaking artist at the All Africa Music Awards 2018. In 2023 they were awarded Best West African Artist/Group at the Jayli awards.

The lyrics to Toofan's song "Chocolat bonbon" are primarily in French and a few words in their native language, Ewe. The song has an upbeat tempo and uses a variety of sounds to create a vibrant atmosphere. The first line of the song, "Yadèfi tché," is an expression of excitement or amazement. The next line, "Toofan gèlé éééh," refers to the artists themselves, who are saying that they have arrived and are ready to perform.
The following lines mention a girl who is dancing (tchalézi) and attracting attention (la go la ba). The phrase "Prési on the beat on thé gwetanè" means that the producer, Presi, is in charge of the beats and they are ready to start the dance party. The next line, "She the killed somebody oooh," refers to the girl who is dancing and is so good that she is "killing" the dance floor. The line "Attention somebody" could be interpreted as a warning to other dancers that they need to step up their game. Finally, the phrase "Aségouségou la gélédipo" is from the Ewe language and means something like "let's dance like nobody's watching."
