Clearly, the Allier appeals to artists! After Stone in Commentry, the master of the humor song Richard Gotainer, 71, author in 1982 of the Mambo of the decalcos or more recently of the Sheep, appears at the municipal in Cérilly on the list of the outgoing mayor.
The advertiser, singer and humorist, “bought in 2016 a property on the edge of the neighboring forest of Tronçais where he lives almost all the time. He integrated very well into the town, participates in all events, while remaining discreet, "explains Olivier Filliat, mayor without label of this town of 2,300 inhabitants.
“With Richard, we meet; we take aperitifs, things like that… One day, he said to me “it would interest me to invest myself at the municipal level”. The idea gained ground and when I asked him to be on my list, he immediately accepted, ”continues the councilor who is seeking a fourth term.
"A personal project in the field of culture"
Gotainer had discovered this town while looking for a guest house. The artist "has a personal project in the field of culture that he would like to develop in Cérilly, but until it is completed, he asked me not to talk about it," says Olivier Filliat.
“It is chance that there are two singers on the Allier lists. Parisian artists enjoy the Bourbonnais a lot! He rejoices.
The Allier and the commune have also served as the backdrop for several clips from Gotainer's album Saperlipopette (or not Saperlipopette) , released in 2018, including that of the Sheep , shot by his son Léo Gotainer in a café in Cérilly, with the inhabitants as actors, alongside a bunch of presidents of the Republic, involuntary protagonists of this humorous parody… on politics.
