Ten months after being revealed as an actor in Fanny Herrero's
Funny
series on Netflix, Younès Boucif is focusing on music this October.
His first album
Identity remarkable
(Belem label at Wagram) has just been released in stores so this intellectual rapper multiplies the appearances on stage.
Thursday, October 13, he took advantage of the Mama Festival, the largest gathering of the music industry in France to present some titles at La Cigale.
On Wednesday October 19, he will be at the Casino de Paris in the first part of Médine, his rapper friend from Le Havre.
Last March, the duo made a splash with the title
V'la les troubles.
Their clip, filmed with split screens that play on the rivalry between Le Havre and Rouen, has exceeded one million views.
Seeing Younès on stage is an opportunity to see him embody his well-written and personal titles.
With modesty, he evokes his doubts about the music in
J'aime plus le rap
.
In
Mima
, he returns to his Algerian origins.
On
Rebeu des Pavillons
, he questions his condition as a rapper from an intellectual family based in Rouen.
Harraga,
whose clip shot in Algiers is particularly cinematographic, retraces the itinerary of a young Algerian who disappeared at sea. Younès sings there with Tif.
Rising star of Franco-Algerian rap, star of the documentary
On The Corner
which gives an unusual vision of Algiers to see on Youtube (already 150,000 views), Tif is precisely managed by Younès and his brother Abdil Boucif.
“For Tif, we created the Houma Sweet Houma (neighborhood in Arabic) label
,
”
explains Younès.
The merry band has just put online the very dancing and 70's clip of
Hinata
where Tif sings in French, English and Arabic.
Connoisseurs will recognize Younès who sways with self-mockery in front of the camera.
And cinema and series in all this?
“After Funny, I didn't have as many proposals as I had hoped,
explains Younès.
I shot in Morocco in an American film that will be released on Netflix and I have small days of filming right and left.
I decided to be patient and not rush into everything that is offered to me.
While waiting for his agent at Time Art to call him for the long-awaited big role, he decided to travel and finish his novel, an autofiction.
“
I have lived non-stop since the filming of
Funny
in March 2021. It was intense and good, but I was only able to go to Kyrgyzstan in Central Asia in September 2021. This time, I hesitate between Australia, criss-crossing Italy by train or crossing France by bike.
Being on the move helps me write.
For the moment, apart from being offered a good role, nothing is keeping me in Paris.
I left my studio near the Sorbonne.
It's a blurry time with an uncertain future, but it's exciting."
