The Arma people are an ethnic group of the middle Niger River valley, descended in part from Moroccan invaders of the 16th century. The name, applied by other groups, derives from the Arabic word arrimah, « fusiliers ».
The 1590 expedition sent to conquer the Songhai Empire trade routes by the Moroccan Saadi Dynasty was made up of four thousand Spanish and other European converts. Converted to Islam, they were either hired as mercenaries or captured as slaves by the Moroccans. After the destruction of the Songhai in 1591, the Moroccan forces settled into Djenné, Gao, Timbuktu and the larger towns of the Niger River bend. Never able to exert control outside their large fortifications, within a decade the expedition's leaders were abandoned by Morocco. In cities like Timbuktu, the men of the 1591 expedition intermarried with the Songhai, became small scale independent rulers, and some of their descendants came to be identified as minor dynasties of their own right. By the end of the 17th century, Bambara, Tuareg, Fula, and other forces came to control empires and city-states in the region, leaving the Arma as a mere ethnicity.

Genres: Drama,Welcome to, my dark empire
Is full of things, even twisted
You will find, a world without queen
It could be cold, but is part of me
With my blood, I´ll show all this
Come to see, if you like you can stay
Don´t you leave me
Don´t you leave me alone,
I can give you
All what you are seeking
Come to see, you will find everything
Just feel the pain, is like the one that you bring
We can create, a world full of peace
It could be dark, but you like that
Here is no time, is all for us
Is full of hate, to help us to keep on moving
Don´t you leave me
Don´t you leave me alone,
I can give you
All what you are seeking.
In the dark
Shine the light
Just open your mind
You could find (all you want)
If we trust
We can be
We can live
We can die together
Come to this
Is my life
But could be
Our life
Don´t you leave me
Don´t you leave me alone,
I can give you
