Lyrics
Why are we so - Small - Unable
To give more than ourselves, to give more than ourselves
And still we pretend we’re made of…
And still pretending we’re made of… Stars
Why are we so – Keen on sending - our own flesh to the war
And still crying over them
And still crying over…
Peace
- We say we look for the answers -
WHY ? WHY ?
But we have no ears and our lips are sealed
Why such a despair
To some time is unfair, to others it brings trouble
Rich to rich, poor to poor
Then we get old…X2
Trying to reach for something - high X2
Still believing we belong to the - Sky X2
Why, why, why
- We say we look for the answers -
WHY ? WHY ?
But we have no ears and our lips are sealed
Aahaahaaah
And our lips are sealed…
WHY ? WHY ?

ASKANYI is essentially and by means of compositions a fusion between a “Western” string quartet and traditional African vocal music. This process results in a unique kind of music which echoes today’s multicultural environment. ASKANYI’s energy is both fierce and serene, inviting listeners to open themselves to new experiences and to look beyond themselves.
