Because Oxmo Puccino is not really one of the artists angry with health security measures.

"Nothing beats health and safety," he says.

"If it's to go to concert halls and not feel at ease, it's a little tricky. I'm not fighting the force of things, I'm trying to understand."

And what the rapper understands is that at present, even lightened health restrictions would make any concert untenable for him.

"This summer, we tried to resume a tour, but under conditions that were impossible," he recalls.

"If it is to resume under these conditions, it will be complicated."

A book project

The artist takes advantage of this downtime to take a step back and estimate his luck.

"I understand that you have to think. You have to take advantage of your loved ones, already, and become aware of the good health that you have. These are things that you do not take enough advantage of in life in general", explains- he does. 

Oxmo Puccino also takes the opportunity to launch new projects.

He reveals that he has just started working on writing a first novel.
