Often, when he(it) walks(works) in the street of his(its) step dancing, Djamal the musician, a shade(shadow) of mustache and the cap back to front, turns around to see if he is not followed. Succeed in meeting him(it) holds some treasure hunt. Parano? Not safe(sure). For some months, he happened of funny things. His(her,its) mail reaches him(her) systematically unsealed. His(her,its) mobile phone mysteriously began posting(showing) four times in succession the numbers of his(her) correspondents. Twice, the page which he(it) had created on Myspace disappeared without explanation. When he(it) opens his(its) jacket, he(it) shows the black T-shirt which he(it) does not leave: Nicolas Sarkozy's photo blocked by a slogan: « he will never be my president, no, Torapamavoa Nicolas. »

Djamal is « Minister of the anti-propaganda » of " Republik torapamavoyenne », « collective to gigoteur anti-Sarkozy ». His(her) accomplices are « minister's wife of countercurrents », « of the anti-depression » or « Secretary of State of the subversive creation ».

Consisted in 2006, "Torapamavoa Nicolas» became a tube on the web.Two titles(securities), "Castoapovcon» (after Nicolas Sarkozy's visit in the Agricultural show) and « Speaks to my dwarf », allegedly rappés by « Carla Fatale and Cécilia Bazooka », follow the same road. In everything, more than 3 million seen videos! For the first anniversary(birthday) of Nicolas Sarkozy's arrival to the Elysee, a parody of « The cash, it is smart » (Le Fric c'est chic) , version karaoke of the global success of the end of 1970s, starts in whirlwind. Freakt out by Chic.

On the site ( 1 ) which he(it) animates(stimulates) with his(her) friends, Djamal created, actually, a hyperreactive, subversive and playful news agency where « France according to » is peeled(analysed), mocked, reviled. « No doubt to be allowed keep silent », says Djamal, in the pretext about which the universal suffrage spoke and that, circulate, there would be nothing more to see...

Not easy nevertheless, since his(her,its) election, to hold the rhythm of the contesting " antiSarko ". « When the French people voted, it is difficult for an artist to go against the universal suffrage. As far as, notably in the world of the rap, there was an illness to support Ségolène. They were against Sarkozy, but for nobody, underlines Laurent Bournot, general manager of the programs of Skyrock. And then the bling-bling side, the jabberism of which they can feel close, the ostentatious wealth can please a part(party) of the young people. »
Henceforth, it is the mockery which gets the upper hand. So, « to celebrate the first anniversary(birthday) of the young » in his(her) way, the humorist Christophe Alévêque ( 2 ) again gathered(combined) his(her) " choir of the thousand doves » in front of him(it) Of Fouquet, resuming(taking back) the kitschissime song intoned by Mireille Mathieu place of Concorde in the evening of the election of his favorite president. « I shall not calm down! », this acid clown warns who cannot refrain from scratching there where that already hurts. « On May 6th, 2007, we had looked the electoral evening with friends. It was unreal. When we heard(understood) the speech of the guru, looked at Cécilia who wanted to bite him(it) and heard(understood) Mireille Mathieu, there, we did not any more want to laugh. I put the image of the TV in black and white. Astounding! We would have considered returned in the years Guy Lux. That, the break? It was not any more tomorrow. It was the day before yesterday. » Manu Larrouy, him, is a perfect stranger. A young thirty-year old composer-songwriter in the speeds(looks) of contemporary troubadour, who, meagerly fed for ten years by the RMI, defines himself as " a modern poet ". In some months, he(it) is going to take(bring) out his(its) first disk to Mb Town. Main title: « a guy in the cool ». « In France of right, the one who cracks himself her(it) », he(it) prevents(warns), in a ballad bittersweet, « I will not go to dance this evening in Of Fouquet ». On Web, the parodies of « Somebody said to me » of Carla Bruni are whispered to the vitriol. « Mickey said to me », hummed by one made languid in short skirt with pea and big cuddly ears, is doubtless the version most soft: « to I am told that a RMI, that does not cost much / And that the homeless persons do not feel(smell) the rose / We say that the president is a perfect bastard / that the purchasing power, he(it) fights the coconut... » In the realm of the big to défouloir, punk versions, tecktonik, R*B, rap, heavy metal or French song, there is for all the tastes. Sarkophage, punk-rock group, opened its site ( 3 ). "Sarkocescu», one of his(her) presenters(driving forces), badge(swipe card) of Rachida Dati version Bazooka in the lapel(backhand) of its perfecto and Prof. of socio in civilian life, explains that the group plays everywhere in France when the bosses of theater or bar « do not cancel at the last moment by fear, with the similar name, of a descent of cops ». Amateur videos posted on internet are registered(recorded) in a maid's room, a house in the suburbs or straight from the pavement, according to the stage setting henceforth ground by the singers-worship of « the Song of Sunday » (4), the small absurd but more and more political jewel in the course of time(weather) - of Clément Marchand and Alexandre Castagnetti: 9 million videos seen since February, 2007!

Music producer, Loïk Dury who presided(officiated) for ten years on Radio Nova makes the tour(ballot) of France of the premises of recording with the groups of which he takes charge. « It is there, he tells, that of perfect strangers come all the tribes of the music let off stream on every Saturday evening. » When we tighten(stretch out) the ear, behind the pad doors, with for only weapons a guitar, a battery(drum kit) and a microphone, it is always the same song: « Fuck Sarko! » But naturally, that will never pass on the radio.
