It’s a controversy that continues to make noise. French singer Aya Nakamura, expected to sing at the opening ceremony of the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, was defended by the artistic director of this event.
“There are people in France who like Aya Nakamura, Georges Brassens and Pascal Dusapin”
Thomas Jolly, in comments reported by Telerama denounced the ” racism “ of which the singer was a victim. “Of course by mixing rap, zouk and r’n’b in her afro-urban pop, Aya does not please everyone. But the racism, the ‘classism’, the sexism of which she was a victim are unacceptable and the Organizing Committee of the Olympic and Paralympic Games (Cojop)as the Ministers of Sports and Culture have supported”declared the latter.

Since the rumor of the 28-year-old singer’s participation came out, political reactions have followed, with several figures from the far right not hesitating to mock the star.
Thomas Jolly added that there was no reason to oppose musical registers: “It is up to me that, on July 26, each of us feels recognized: everyone has their own tastes and yet we form a great whole. There are people in France who like Aya Nakamura, Georges Brassens and Pascal Dusapin. No cultural discrimination. »
