Last May, France 2 was broadcasting a new episode of Meeting in unknown land. Beside Raphaël de Casabianca was Vianney. Together, two men went to meet the Afar people in Ethiopia. A journey that has deeply marked the 30-year-old singer. Images that viewers were able to see again this Tuesday, December 28, thanks to the rebroadcasting of the program on the channel.
On this occasion, the host wanted to talk again about this moment lived in 2020. Memories that are still very present in his mind for several reasons that he wished to discuss with our colleagues from TV-Leisure. “The meeting with Vianney went extremely well. It is also impossible to forget Humed and his son Abid, goat and camel breeders. This journey continues to reside in me. The link still exists. So much so that the events which take place going on in Ethiopia today disturbs me. Right now it’s war. I will try to hear from them. I keep thinking about them a lot. “
Transformed by the experience, the artist who will soon resume his role in The Voice had confided in his participation in the show. But also on what the production prohibited him.
“The outfit I’m wearing was given to me by the production. I have nothing of my own. I thought it might help them, especially the right shoes for the mountain.”, he said at first. “Franck Desplanques, the editor in chief of the show, formally forbade me. We can give them things, but from home. They have their life, and we must take care of it”.
For example, “a dromedary and a hundred kilos of sugar and flour. They need that more. The pair of Quechua sunglasses, it would have broken something rather. Beware of poisoned gifts: we can help better and differently “, he concluded.
