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.

Finti there
Je t'en prie, rappelle-toi c'que t'as eu ou quittons nos sentiments
Rappelle-toi d'un homme,
d'un fils qui t'aiment ou j'me barre pour des centimes euh
C'est dans la pence, moi je lève la peine,
qui part en mission pour un banc, tu m'appelle?
Un, deux, trois, j'n'aime pas XXXX après je repars sans XX
cacher, tu veux tout lui dire et tout lâcher
Je sais que t'en a marre de te
cacher, mais elle t'a dit: "je veux engager"
Faut que tu tiennes le coup
Garde ça pour nous
Je te supplie à genoux
Ça reste entre nous eh eh
Entre toi et moi eh eh
Ça reste entre nous eh eh
Le petit sujet d'amour eh eh
Oui, t'auras sûr quand tu stresses,
te fait voyager en fesses, et te soigne quand tu te blesses
Moi, je taffe dur pour des pièces,
en vrai même si t'étais seule, j'le dirais comment je fais, dis-moi
Est-ce que ce qu'on a vaut le coup
de prendre le risque de tout balancer
Je te love comme un fou,
mais j't'en prie réfléchis avant de l'annoncer
Si j'ai des millions de dollars, si j'ai des millions de dollars
La vie-ci c'est qui vivra verra,
en attendant, j'suis un puissant conquer'
Faut que tu tiennes le coup
Garde ça pour nous
Je te supplie à genoux
Ça reste entre nous eh eh
Entre toi et moi eh eh
Ça reste entre nous eh eh
Le petit sujet d'amour eh eh
Bébé assieds-toi quelques trois minutes
Faut que je te parle bébé, faut que je mette à nu
Mais avant faut que tu saches,
depuis le début, c'est du vrai c'qui se passe
J'te l'ai promis, ça fait.cinq ans,
te mettre la bague devant tes parents
Il y a ce truc qui me gêne,
le secret qui me ronge, qui me rend mal à l'aise
J'ai manqué de peur de faire de lui en manque, et
Pour toi, j'suis pas fait, le connu est donc le bon
Prends lui le mirage, le connu, le démon
J'ai gaffé bébé, j'ai un gosse qui m'attend dehors
Faut que tu tiennes le coup,
Garde ça pour nous nous
Je te supplie à genoux
Entre nous eh eh
Entre toi et moi eh eh
Ça reste entre nous eh eh
Le petit sujet d'amour eh eh
The song "Entre Nous" by Toofan is a plea from a man to his partner to keep their relationship a secret. The lyrics are sung mostly in French, with some phrases in English, and the song features a mixture of African and Western rhythms. The song starts with a plea from the singer to his partner to remember what they shared and to forget their feelings in order to keep everything between them. He reminds her of his love for her and pleads with her to keep their relationship a secret, stating that he is willing to go on a mission for a bench if it means keeping their relationship secret.
The singer then admits to working hard for money, reassuring his partner that he would still love her even if they were broke. He asks if what they have is worth the risk of revealing it to others and encourages her to think carefully before announcing their relationship to the world. In the second verse, the man reveals that he has a child waiting outside and admits to being scared of the consequences of revealing his relationship to his child's mother. He pleads with his partner to keep their relationship a secret for the sake of the child's well-being.
Overall, "Entre Nous" is a song about secret love and the fear of judgment that often comes with it. The song highlights the importance of being careful with one's feelings and the consequences that can come with revealing them. It also touches on the idea of societal expectations and the pressure to conform to them.
