Akuma may refer to:
Akuma is a punk band from Quebec formed in 1998 from the ashes of Banlieue Rouge.
The original line-up comprised Safwan (guitar and vocals), Simon (bass and background vocals), Sylva (drums), and Mark (guitar, background vocals). It was this line-up which created the group's first album, 100 Démons, released March 2001 by Yakuza Productions.
For the second album, the line-up was changed: Yannick (guitar) and Martin (bass) joined Safwan and Sylva to replace Simon and Mark.
Besides its musical aspect, the band distinguishes itself through its opposition to neoliberalism, both through its lyrics and through its actions.
Thus, after their first album, 100 Démons, distributed through traditional means, the band decided to distribute their second album, Subversion (released 2004 by Pavillon Noir) directly to their fans through their Web site. At concerts, they claimed the idea was to avoid middlemen.
But like most punk groups, it is in the punk "scene" that Akuma delivers its message most effectively. To be heard, the group plays many different venues, from small establishments to large North American events like the Vans Warped Tour of 2001 or Quebec's summer festival.
Akuma (born in 1994, in Saltillo, Coahuila, Mexico) is the ring name of a Mexican luchador enmascarado, or masked professional wrestler currently working for the Mexican professional wrestling promotion Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL) portraying a rudo ("Bad guy") wrestling character. Akuma's real name is not a matter of public record, as is often the case with masked wrestlers in Mexico where their private lives are kept a secret from the wrestling fans. It has been revealed that he is the younger brother of CMLL wrestler Demus 3:16 and has been referred to as both Akuma 3:16 and Akuma 666.
The wrestler known as Akuma is the younger brother of Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL) wrestler Demus 3:16 who works in CMLL's Mini-Estrella division. He is the brother-in-law of retired professional wrestler Hiroka Yaginuma who is married to Demus 3:16. He is also the brother in law of wrestler Charlie Montana who is married to Akuma's sister.
Quelle que soit l'envie
Quelle que soit la vie
Para?tre autre chose comme jouer un r?le
Demande beaucoup plus qu'il n'y parait
J'en suis l'exemple m?me
Comme une deuxi?me peau brod?e par l'habitude
Faite sur mesure pour cacher ce que je suis
Je ne suis rien du tout...
Mon id?al
Haut, toujours plus haut
Tu crois que para?tre ou savoir ?tre
Fait de toi quelqu'un d'autre
Mais le charisme se fait - je sais - avant l'attitude...
