about

ITA - Are you strong? è il nome di un gioco di carte popolare nell'Africa dell'Ovest e, più nello specifico, della carta più importante del mazzo: l'asso. Ma soprattutto, è una domanda che ci poniamo (e che poniamo) nell'affrontare il nostro tempo, per essere coerenti con i valori in cui crediamo. Siamo abbastanza saldi nei nostri principi morali? La nostra etica è forte abbastanza per resistere alle sfide del quotidiano e lottare per un futuro migliore?

ENG - Are you strong? is the name of a popular card game in West Africa and, more specifically, of the most important card in the deck: the ace.
But above all, it is a question that we ask ourselves (and everybody) in facing our time, to be consistent with the values in which we believe. Are we firm enough in our morals? Is our ethics strong enough to withstand the challenges of everyday life and fight for a better future?

Containing the previously released single “We want to dance”.
