Stéphane Bern & Matthieu Noël SEASON 2021 - 2022 3:55 p.m., April 08, 2022
Historically Yours brings together 3 characters who had their names stolen by rappers: Pharaoh Akhenaton born under the same star as the leader of IAM who took his name back, an Egyptian ruler who undertook a real revolution in the country.
Then a king who, like the rapper for whom "everything is swimming, in water, in oil, under the sun..." long after him, also chose to be called Menelik: Menelik II, the king of Kings, the most famous Ethiopian in history who resisted enemy invasion and developed his country.
And a US football legend who inspired the rap star Busta Rhymes - famous for his "I know what you want": George "Buster" Rhymes...
The guests :
- Florence Quentin,
Egyptologist, author of "The Great Sovereigns of Egypt" (Perrin)
- Estelle Sohier,
professor of cultural geography at the University of Geneva, author of “The king of kings and photography.
