While waiting to be able, perhaps, to go on tour with his second album "Lundi méchant" released last November, the writer and rapper Gaël Faye is Tuesday the guest of the show "It feels good".
He tells the microphone of Anne Roumanoff the genesis of his title "Lueurs", which denounces police violence.
INTERVIEW
About her album
Lundi Méchant
, we talked a lot about her song whose lyrics are a poem by Christiane Taubira.
But a little less
Lueurs
, another song from the new album by writer and rapper Gaël Faye.
A title in which he denounces police violence and whose creation he tells Anne Roumanoff on the program
Ça fait du bien.
The theme of this song imposed itself on him.
"It is not a specification, that is to say that I do not make an album by saying to myself 'I have to write a song about police violence'", he explains.

It is the demonstration of June 13 at the call of the Adama committee that makes him want to write on the subject.
"I came to this place out of support, and because I was also very disturbed by the death of Georges Floyd in the United States," he recalls.
"And this affair echoed with a lot of things going on in our country."
"I saw a united France"
That day, Gaël Faye was taken by emotion.
"I saw something fabulous, that is to say a united France, young people, not so young and who were there for one thing: human dignity", he explains.
The artist then returns home with the need to write, giving birth to the text of
Lueurs.
"It is also a text which echoes another", specifies Gaël Faye.
"Echoing a song that comes before on the album and called
Seul et Vaincus
."
The song whose text is signed Christiane Taubira.
