“My brother smokes when I put on the ring, my sister animates the wedding…” In the song
La Quête
, taken from his album
Civilization
, Orelsan already mentioned his union with Ahélya Randriambolaina, his long-time companion.
This time, the rapper went even further by unveiling unpublished images of the ceremony, on the occasion of the release of the second season of the documentary series
Never show that to anyone
, expected on October 13 on Amazon Prime Video.
As Orelsan confided on the set of “C à vous”, this Monday, October 10, the evocation of his marriage in the documentary is not a coincidence and even less of an excess of ego.
"You hide nothing from us in the documentary, until the wedding", is surprised the columnist Mohamed Bouhafsi after the broadcast of an extract.
To better “understand the music”
"You might think it's in people mode, like I put my wedding, but there really is a justification," says the artist, before his brother immediately goes one better.
“Compared to the song
La Quête
: Orel is blocked, he is looking for the end of this song and there is his wedding which happened a month before.
And it is this memory of the wedding that Orel had time to digest, where on his wedding day, he was a little panicked.
And that's what allows him to unlock the end of this song, ”says Clément Cotentin, his brother, director of the documentary.
Then to add: "It was our line of conduct to say to ourselves: if it helps to understand his music we put it, if it's just to put intimate images it's not worth it."
