DR ‹ › With each Africa Cup of Nations, music becomes the heartbeat of the event, amplifying the excitement and emotion of football. For the 2025 edition, hosted in Morocco from December 21 to January 18, the official anthem, «AFRICALLEZ», emerges as a powerful emblem of the tournament, weaving together the fervor of sports, cultural identity, and a unifying message for the continent. Designed as a genuine Pan-African anthem, «AFRICALLEZ» is brought to life by a trio of artists whose styles complement each other: Beninese diva Angélique Kidjo, a global icon in African music; Franco-Moroccan singer Lartiste, a prominent figure in the urban and international music scene; and Moroccan singer Jaylane, representing Morocco's new wave of artistic talent. This collaboration for the 2025 CAN in Morocco and Africa showcases a fusion of musical perspectives, reflecting the rich and diverse culture of a continent where over 60% of the population is young. The track combines contemporary African sounds, popular rhythms, and universal elements, all underpinned by the core values of the CAN: fraternity, solidarity among nations, African pride, and a passion for football. Unveiled during the opening ceremony of CAN 2025, the official song set the stage for a memorable moment before the inaugural match kicked off. On stage, Angélique Kidjo, Lartiste, and Jaylane embodied the spirit of unity and celebration that defines this grand festival of African football through their electrifying performance. Beyond its artistic appeal, this anthem resonates throughout the tournament, echoing in stadiums, fan zones, cafés, and public spaces. It becomes the soundtrack to a month of intense competition, forever linked with the emotions, triumphs, and memories that this extraordinary Moroccan edition of the CAN will create.
