Azɔ Mawu, Paix des cœurs paced at 72 BPM
Azɔ Mawu, Paix des cœurs is sung in Fon and set at 72 beats per minute. The artist & Chorale Azɔ perform it; AFRIKANA lists the track under African Gospel and Spiritual Voices and tags its mood as African Calm & Recovery.
The song's description says it blends soft kora, mellow piano, light percussion and a warm choir to invite inner peace. AFRIKANA also hosts a video titled Azɔ Mawu, Paix des cœurs | Fon African Gospel Song. The listing frames the song as Beninese and classifies it in African Spiritual / Prayer.
72 BPM and the prayer's pacing
A single tempo figure, 72 BPM, appears in the public listing and becomes the measurable anchor for the piece. That figure aligns with the platform's mood tag and places the track in a measured, meditative register.
Because tempo is one of the explicit descriptors provided, listeners and curators can use 72 BPM as a practical comparator when programming meditation or recovery sets. The listing therefore foregrounds tempo as part of the song's identity.
Choir, kora and the named textures
Voices are the named centrepiece: the artist is credited together with Chorale Azɔ and the description emphasizes a warm choir. Harmony and group singing are presented as the primary communicators of the prayer.
Supporting textures are listed as soft kora, mellow piano and light percussion. Those elements appear in the song's public description and in a draft text that states the piece was created for AFRIKANA to honour Beninese spiritual heritage.
A draft about text calls it a contemporary prayer in Fon that honours Beninese spiritual heritage and lists acoustic kora, mellow piano and subtle percussion alongside the choir. It also states the piece was created for AFRIKANA to highlight local language, authenticity and accessible discovery of African sacred music.
AFRIKANA marks the track as consumable. The combination of choir and the listed instruments is the platform's way of signalling that this is both a prayer song and a listening piece for meditative radio shows.
Beside Alèkè Gbè and Gàn Wè: what differs
All three AFRIKANA titles share Fon as a singing language. Beyond language, the platform gives clear, differing cues.
Alèkè Gbè is listed at 88 BPM under Palm-Wine Guitar | West African Soul and names palm-wine guitar, choir and small hand percussion. Gàn Wè appears at 100 BPM and is presented as Afrobeats Energy | Nigeria’s Global Sound with a percussion-forward workout frame.
By contrast, Azɔ Mawu identifies itself through spiritual style and a slower, 72 BPM pacing, with kora and piano among the named textures. AFRIKANA's entries therefore separate these Fon-language pieces by tempo, style labels and the specific instruments cited.
That set of explicit differences places each song in a distinct listening context: prayer and recovery for Azɔ Mawu, palm-wine tribute for Alèkè Gbè, and percussion-led energy for Gàn Wè.
