What does freedom sound like?
A bird taking flight. A woman doing exactly what she wants. Someone who refuses to fit in a box. A father furious watching his son forgotten in prison. A gypsy captivating children. A vote without fear.
This episode is sixteen visions of freedom, one for each artist.
Hervé Cristiani sings Max who couldn't care less what anyone thinks.
Inna Modja and Angèle embody a woman who takes power.
Jean-Jacques Goldman celebrates a mother choosing to raise her child alone.
Alpha Blondy rages against electoral violence.
Kofs and Youssoupha speak of freedom earned through struggle.
Some songs dance and laugh.
Others break your heart.
Voices from Cameroon, Côte d'Ivoire, Congo, Mali, Belgium, France, Quebec. They all say the same thing a thousand different ways: freedom is being yourself, no permission needed, no guilt allowed.
You don't need to speak French to feel what they're saying.
