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 the song Déloger by Toofan describe a party atmosphere where the music has started and the group is ready to make everyone move and dance. While the song talks about "déloger" which means "evict" in English, it is not used in the literal sense but more as a figure of speech to mean "to remove anything that stands in the way of having a good time". The lyrics tell listeners that the music will bring an atmosphere from Africa that will make everyone dance, and that they will not let any opponent or nonchalant person stand in the way. The group blocks all the neighborhoods with their music and brings magic that can be carried away by the wind, warning that it can be powerful enough to kill (metaphorically).
The lyrics urge listeners to join in and dance, warning that if they don't, they will miss out on the fun. The song uses a mix of French, English and a bit of Ewe (a language spoken in Togo, where the group is from) to convey its message. The lyrics are upbeat and energetic, with a fast-tempo beat and a mix of electronic and African instruments.

The delogers are here. The music has taken over. It won't stop. If you don't dance, you will feel inferior. We repeat the same thing, like ABC. Don't mess with the music, please. You will hurt yourself. Don't act surprised. Our melodies are your appointments.
