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 song "Orobo" by Toofan is a lively and upbeat tune that combines Togolese and Nigerian musical styles to create a unique sound. The lyrics of the song revolve around a woman who is a bit on the heavy side ("orobo" is Yoruba for "fat"), but this does not stop her from dancing and having a good time. The singer is praising her curves and her confidence, saying that she will "tounamisé" (meaning "make you dizzy" or "hypnotize") those around her with her moves. The chorus of the song repeats the phrase "djigame orobo" over and over again, which could be interpreted as a call to dance and have fun.
The song also features several references to different West African personalities and slang terms. For example, the line "La go est trop kpata" means "the girl is too much" in Nigerian Pidgin English, while "dollar" and "sebastien adjavon" are references to Togolese public figures. Additionally, the line "C'est le bocho" refers to a type of dance in Togo that involves shaking the hips, while "gogo robo" is a slang term used to describe a beautiful woman.
Overall, "Orobo" is a fun and energetic song that celebrates self-confidence and encourages people to dance and enjoy themselves.

TOOFAN , un KORA pour la qualité et l'esprit de créativité dans vos œuvres;
un KORA pour la variété et le panache;
un KORA surtout pour la qualité de la chorégraphie mais bien plus encore l'entrée fracassante de cette belle femme africaine, généreuse aux atouts concrets et admirable. C'est de la pure musique africaine qui m'éloigne davantage des musiques dépourvues de sens tel que le RNB. VOUS me rendez fier et vous me faites voyager à travers mon Afrique. Toutes vos œuvres sont de belles factures soyez en sûr toute fois "OROBO" c'est du balaise. GWETA RESTE CHAMPION D'AFRIQUE.
