La semaine dernière se tenait la pré-soirée de lancement du projet Diesel+Edun, dans l'une des boutiques de Diesel du quartier de Montorgueil. Cette mise en bouche, en prélude de la grande soirée du 03.03.13, était juste excellente. Un mini bar avait été dressé où l'on pouvait se servir du jus de gingembre (du gnanmancou), du jus de bissap, du mojito à la mangue, des petits amuse-bouches à la patate douce ou même à l'alocco (bananes plantains frits). A ce stade je me suis dit on est carrément dans le sujet! Alors ce ne sont que des détails mais pour ceux qui connaissent ces mets, c'est juste pas anodins. Bon j'arrête de m'épancher sur la nourriture ... et oui je suis très gourmande.
La dj-ette de la soirée passait vraiment du bon son, notamment du son nigérian. Avec ma pote Dolorès, nous n'avons pas pu résister à l'appel de la piste de danse!! L'ambiance était vraiment sympa et très intimiste.
Nous avons assisté également à un mini-concert de Benjamin Clementine piano-voix, juste dingue. J'avais déjà entendu parler de lui, j'avais même raté un de ses concert sur Paris et là il était devant moi, pieds nus, cheveux au vent (non je déconne) berçant de sa voix un public tout acquis à sa cause... bref une vrai claque sonore!!
Last week, I attended to the pre-event launching of Diesel+Edun Project, in a Diesel's shop in Montorgueil neighborhood. It was like an appetizer, before the big party of the day after, and it was really a good moment. A mini bar was set up with ginger, eucalyptus juices, mojito with mango etc... At this stage, i told myself "we are in the subject". It's only details but for those who know these dishes it's not harmless. Well I stop talking about food... yes i'm very greedy.
The Dj was very good and with my friend Dolorès we can't resist to the appeal of the dance floor. The atmosphère was really nice and very intimist.
We also assisted to Benjamin Clementine's mini-concert just a piano and his voice...wonderful. I had already heard about him, i had even missed one of his concert on Paris and he was just here, in front of me, bare feet, hair in the wind (I'm joking), singing ... he was just Amazing!!!

Certaines égéries du projet Diesel+Edun étaient présentes, j'en ai donc profité pour aller à leur rencontre et discuter avec eux. J'ai pu parler avec Tanya, Sy Alassane et Innocent du collectif I see a different you. Tous les trois étaient vraiment sympas et surtout authentiques!!
Innocent a été peut-être celui qui m'a le plus touché. Il me disait en gros que lui et ses frangins étaient très reconnaissants à Dieu de tout ce qui leur arrivait, qu'ils ont accepté de participer à ce projet "Studio Africa" car c'est une manière de présenter un autre visage de l'Afrique, celle qui est capable de relever des défis économiques comme celui de constituer une vraie industrie textile africaine. Il me disait également qu'ils adhéraient d'autant plus au projet car cela permet de mettre en avant des artistes africains et notamment leur travail de photographe, qui sera exposé un peu partout (ToKyo, Paris, Berlin etc...). Super humble et hyper souriant c'est ce que je retiens de ce jeune Sud-africain talentueux!
Some of the muses of the Diesel + Edun project attended to the event, so i decided to talk to them, in order to have their feelings. I could talk to Tanya, Sy Alassane and Innocent From "I see a different you". The three of them were very nice and above all genuwine!
I think Innocent was maybe the one who touched me the most. He told me that his brothers and him were very thankful to God for everything happened to them. They had accepted to be part of this project "Studio Africa" because it's a way to show another side of Africa, that Africa was able to take up the economical challenge like for example to set up a real African textile industry. He told me also that they like the project since it enables to highlight African artists and particularly their work as photographers. Indeed, they have set up an exhibition, which will travel from Tokyo to Paris and other Europeans countries.
very humble and always smiling, that's what i keep in memory from this young talented man.
