"Oh my Lot", an ode to the department and to the countryside, is a hit

Les Flagrants Délires, author of “Oh my Lot”, a hymn to their department and to rural life.

-

• Relayed by “Oh my Lot”, a brand created to praise the attractiveness of this department of Occitanie, the clip for the eponymous song has been viewed nearly 140,000 times in ten days.

• Author of the song, the group Flagrants Délires asserts its attachment to its land, in an approach reminiscent of that of the Corrèze neighbors of Trois Cafés gourmands.

We do not yet know if Fabien Galthié will pass

 in the Edinburgh locker room on Sunday, before Scotland - France.

But the coach of the Blues, a child of the village of Montgesty and one of the most famous ambassadors of "4-6", has undoubtedly already heard this playful song from the group Flagrants Délires.

The video for the clip has been viewed nearly 140,000 times in ten days.

Not bad for a department of 175,000 inhabitants.

On the menu: musicians by the fireside in an exposed stone decor typical of Quercy, and aerial images of gems such as Rocamadour, Saint-Cirq-Lapopie, Cahors and its Valentré bridge or even Figeac.

“At this complicated time, it's a way of offering a little escape through music,” indicates Christophe Proença, vice-president of the department in charge of tourism and attractiveness.

This song speaks of the values ​​of the Lot, of benevolence, of simplicity.

We were happy to work with Flagrants Délires.

"

These are the five quadras from Pradines and Cahors who offered the piece recorded at the beginning of the year to "Oh my Lot" (hence the title) the brand created to promote the homeland of Clément Marot, Léon Gambetta and Françoise Sagan.

"It's a contribution of a group to its territory, we gave the song", confide the Galleyrand brothers, Jérôme (drums and vocals) and Julien (guitar and vocals).

And "in the middle runs a river"

Since 2004, the Flagrants Délires have been touring their repertoire, between rock and French songs of their own, all over France.

“But even 800 or 900 km from where we live, we nod to the Lot, and to rural life in general.

"Because the brothers and their friends revere this end of the South-West with" wooded hills ", where" a river flows in the middle ", this" small country where the Lotois has made its nest ", as their song says.

In short, the Flagrants Délires have the Lot as a catheter, to paraphrase their Corrèze neighbors from Trois Cafés gourmands, in their tube

.

“There are common points in terms of inspiration, agree the Galleyrand brothers.

Even if they describe a very precise moment in life, even more focused.

It's a group that we meet very often at festivals.

"

Christophe Proença nods: “The values ​​that the two groups carry are close,” indicates the elected departmental.

The song

very popular with Lotois themselves, they identify with it.

The people who come to visit us find a welcome and a way of life which pushes them to come back.

We also want to attract people in their prime who come to settle down to create jobs.

"

Can't wait to get back on the road

If they remain fiercely attached to their land, the Flagrant Deliriums admit to being anxious to be able to move again, when the reconfinement ends.

Deprived of stage for a year, between recording of

Sufficient

, their sixth album, and the Covid-19 crisis, they had to give up 35 concert dates between May and October.

A sad reality shared with all the artists, whether they come from the Lot or not.
