TF1 will broadcast “Welcome to Marly-Gomont” this Sunday night, a story inspired by rapper Kamin’s childhood. By the way, what happened to him after the success of the song and the release of the movie?
In 2006/2007, Kamini became known to the general public with this title Marley Gaumont, a humorous and musical tribute to his childhood “hometown.” Did he know at the time that a few years later his (and his father’s) story would become a movie?
“I’m from a lost village in Aisne, Picardy, easy, 95% cows, 7% inhabitants and only one black family in between, mine must have been a real nightmare.Said the artist in his song, and it was from this premise that he started Welcome to Marly-Gomont (2016), in collaboration with Benoît Graffin and Julien Rambaldi. A tribute to his father Seyolo Zantoko (died 2009) and his mother Anna Zantoko, who left their native Congo and settled in a small village in Picardy.
In the 1970s, Seyolo somehow manages to get a scholarship to come and study in France. Refusing to raise her children in the Paris region and enter the cycle of ghettoization, she accepted the post of country doctor. Much to the displeasure of his son and daughter, who are taunted and mocked by the other students throughout school because they were the only blacks in the village. A theme that stands at the heart of Welcome Marley-Gaumont, directed by Rambaldi and directed by Mark Zinga and Aisa Maiga.
But little Kamini Zantoko, who suffered from racism and discrimination, was able to recover. After a childhood spent in Marly-Gaumont, he left his small town of Aisne to try medical school to follow in his father’s footsteps and become a practitioner. If she failed and eventually embarked on a career in nursing, she began writing headlines in her early years Marley Gaumont. A song that has been sent to many music labels that unfortunately show no interest, but will still offer huge buzz thanks to word of mouth.
After the success of this title (followed by others such as i am white, which will not meet with the same buzz) and the release of Bienvenue à Marly-Gomont, Kamini is much more cautious. But he was not idle for all this. In 2018 and 2019, he released two new singles, Eul’vraie France and I wanted to say, and at the same time put on a One Man Show where he could explore another of his passions: humor. The so-called program I have to explain In which he mockingly talks about his career and history.
Since 2017, the fireplace has been illustrated on the television program France 3 Hauts-de-France. tall people, where he pays tribute to the country’s northern heritage.
