After the remarkable release of the album Nomadix, Afrotronix are back with this exhilarating first track from the new two-volume album Future Tribe. For this electro track tinged with Saharan blues, the artist Afrotronix has invited the renowned Senegalese group, Daara J Family to feature.
 
“Run Away is a song that evokes the magical places close to our roots that we like to reach when we feel the need to escape. It is an electrifying song that celebrates the great symbols of Africanity that is embodied in Chad and Senegal,” says Rimtobaye, founder of Afrotronix. With Rimtobaye writing and singing in English and in Sara, part of the Nilo-Saharan languages rarely represented in music, and Faada Freddy and Ndongo D who also writes and interprets words in the Wolof, rooted to Nigero-Congolese languages, “Run Away Ta” is a song that crosses continents, combining languages and musical traditions, and which brings together Afro-electro rhythms as well as Caleb's Saharan blues heritage.
 
Run Away Ta is a song that speaks of the need to savor life in the present moment since we never know what tomorrow will bring, it celebrates in times of adversity, this need to escape a certain reality to celebrate another. Caleb Rimtobaye, a Chadian-Canadian singer-songwriter producer residing in Montreal, signs the composition and the production of the song. We also recognize his unique style of electric guitar which made the song an ultra popular success in Chad.The rhythm bridges cultures by fusing together traditional Chadian and Arab percussion. 
        
The video for “Run Away Ta,” shot by Djérabé Ndignar in Chad and Lickma in Senegal, was edited, colorized by Victorine Sentilhes, presents an Africa vibrant with creativity. In the depths of the mountains of northern Chad dotted with camels straight out of haute couture fashion shows, the artists set off on a frantic race. This electrifying clip shot in Chad and Senegal makes us discover through this crazy crossing, the powerful symbols of Africanity which is embodied in Chad and Senegal in sumptuous landscapes traversed by stylized dromedaries, explosive colors, nomadic silhouettes with disconcerting movements and portraits of strong women. The artists launched in this symbolic quest are escorted by an exalted African youth, they are taken to where identities are revealed, where links are woven and tightened, directly at the heart of the party. Afrotronix represents here a young and extremely creative Chad who brings his musical tradition to fruition in electronic music without borders and brings this magnificent collaboration with the group Daara J Family. The artists Faada Freddy and Ndongo D have joined the force of their flow to the lyricism of Afrotronix for the greatest delight of an audience who wishes to redefine an Africanness carrying a powerful message of peace, inclusion, and unity.
This title, like the rest of the album, is positioned as the celebration of an Africanity that leads to a bright future.
 
Written during the harshest period of confinement linked to Covid, Run Away Ta symbolizes the need for freedom, wild escape and the desire to reconnect all together in this cultural diversity which leads humanity to another level of greatness.
 
“Today when I need to recharge my batteries and really get out of my head, my spirit takes me to a big tree in southern Chad, to Sewé the village where my grandfather took me when I was younger. In Run Away Ta I wanted to put that in pictures, and have it filmed in Chad, to show what is beautiful in the country. Representation is key. In my opinion, Chad is not this country whose borders were drawn by the settlers, it is us, it is the people, our neighborhoods, the people, who make this joy of living. We wanted to show that. And this clip shot in Mongo in the region which ends in N'Djamena at the roundabout of the fountain is for us a strong symbol of unity. Through this song, I invite people to see this, to see the beauty in Chad.’’
