Malian-born French singer Aya Nakamura, who caused a scandal in society, may perform at the opening ceremony of the 2024 Olympic Games to be held in Paris. The publication reported this New York Times.
According to journalists, the possible participation of the artist performing the song Djadja caused fierce debates about identity and language.
The publication says that the artist grew up in the suburbs of Paris. In songs that intertwine R&B, Zouk and Afropop rhythms, she blends French lyrics with Arabic, English and West African dialects such as Bamana, her parents’ Malian language. Critics said that the artist’s work did not give an idea about France.
The artist himself did not speak publicly about the scandal and did not agree to an interview. The publication said reactions to his possible speech reflected the division in France.
