Ivory Coast musicians respond to terrorists in the best way possible [video]
Musicians in the Ivory Coast have collaborated to release a song called “Not Afraid”, filmed on the same beach where terrorists opened fire, killing 19 people earlier this month.
Ivorian musicians have collaborated to release a song saying they are “not afraid” after terrorist militants killed 19 people on a beach.
Al-Qaeda claimed responsibility for the attack on 14 March and musiciains have released a song called “Meme Pas Peur”. It means “not a bit afraid” and was filmed on the same beach where the gunment opened fire.
The lyrics, sung in French, include the lines “you kill innocents for lost causes” and “you won’t go to paradise”.
Defiantly, it also says: “In Ivory Coast, we’re on our feet”.
It’s also critical of the terror group’s interpretation of Islam, saying: “Islam is a religion that promotes love, you kill innocents for lost causes”.
The song’s producer Chico Lacoste told the BBC that he decided to make a song to “tell the whole world that: ‘Yes it’s true that Ivory Coast has been hit but we have not fallen down'”.
