Tiken Jah was born into a family of griots and christened Doumbia Moussa Fakoly on June 23, 1968 in Odienné, north-western Côte d'Ivoire. He discovered reggae at an early age, assembling his first group, Djelys, in 1987. He became well-known at a regional level, but would soon ascend to national recognition.

Tiken Jah Fakoly plays music "to wake up the consciences". His music speaks about many injustices done to the people over Africa. As such, many African listeners feel a deep affinity with his lyrics as Fakoly speaks for oppressed people.

This connection has helped make Tiken Jah Fakoly a much-listened artist throughout the world.Tiken Jah Fakoly denounces colonialism and neo-colonization: After the abolition of slavery They created the colonization When we found the solution, They created the cooperation As we denounce this situation. They created the globalisation. And without explaining globalization.
