Oxmo Puccino, is a rapper, storyteller and poet whom many call "Black Jacques Brel". He spins metaphors to talk about sensitive neighborhoods, which he knows and describes perfectly without falling into clichés. His pieces are often fine analyzes of the world and he uses rap to try to change what he deplores. Oxmo Puccino is thus a committed man, especially for women. In 2018, he already lent his voice to the #TuSerasUnHommeMonFils campaign to prevent sexist behavior.
This Friday, he announced that he would cede the rights to his song "Tendrement" to La Maison des femmes de Saint-Denis, to support and publicize the actions of this place of assistance to vulnerable women or victims of violence. "Violence in general affects me and violence against women in particular," he explained.
In his last album The night of the alarm clock , released in September, the rapper already mentioned conjugal violence in Too much love where he chants: "He cried to love him, the blues did not convince, everyone knew it, so everyone is silent. "
Their "work should be much better known"
The clip of Tendrement , which he dedicates "to our women, our daughters and our mothers" will be released on March 8, on the occasion of the international day for women's rights. The director Anissa Bonnefont, like the dancers and the technical team, worked voluntarily on this project.
Flowers, Anissa Bonnefont and I will meet you tomorrow. We have something important to share with you ❤️ Love about us

If the choice of Oxmo Puccino fell on La Maison des Femmes, it is because he believes that their "work should be much better known". The latter was founded in 2016 in Saint-Denis by Dr Ghada Hatem-Gantzer, on the premises of the Delafontaine hospital.
Medico-psycho-social teams welcome dozens of women victims of violence there every day. The host structure will launch a fundraising campaign on March 8. Hopefully Oxmo Puccino's video will bring it to light.
