Keny Arkana’s “L’Histoire Se Répète” is a rallying cry wrapped in hip-hop beats. The French rapper invites us to picture Earth as a single neighborhood where borders are make-believe and every face is a reflection of our own. With passionate chants of “On a dit non à la guerre!” she slams the never-ending loop of conflict, famine, and fear, pointing out that ordinary people always foot the bill while the powerful cash in. By asking “Dis-moi qui a son cœur est fidèle?” she challenges listeners to think for themselves and break the cycle rather than obey death-dealing hierarchies.
The song mixes urgency with hope. Arkana exposes the profit behind weapon sales, the way hate is manufactured, and the way history keeps replaying its darkest tracks. Yet she also hands us a microphone: unity, empathy, and conscious resistance can flip the record. In two relentless verses and a chant-heavy hook, she turns anti-war conviction into an anthemic reminder that when we refuse violence together, we have the power to stop history from hitting repeat.
