On his new single “Mercury / Orgullosamente,” producer, multi-instrumentalist, and spoken-word artist Farees reaffirms his pride in his Tuareg heritage. Taken from his upcoming album Galactic Africa—out June 3 via Rez’Arts Prod—it pushes back on neo-colonialism in energetic Afrobeat fashion. “Everybody wanna dance like Africans / Be tough, be cool like Africans,” he chants. “Tryna look like Africans, talk like Africans, walk like Africans / But you’ll never be real like Africans / Now hit the drum like Africans.”
