Art and politics don’t always go well together. On the occasion of the release of his ninth album A.M.O.U.R, Calogero gave an interview to Release, published in the edition of this Wednesday, September 20. During this interview, the 52-year-old singer agreed to discuss various topicsbut on the other hand refused to comment on politics. After recalling that the artist’s parents “left Sicily as a young adult to settle in Echirolles, a suburb of Grenoble“, our colleagues specified that Calogero had been “naturalized in his twenties.” And the one who is a father of 4 children emphasizes: “Ils (his parents, editor’s note) contributed like a small stone to the construction of what France is today. They had the complex of the immigrant who must greet the host country, honor it“, he confided in the pages of the weekly.
Approached by our colleagues on the government’s immigration policy, the interpreter of Face à la mer preferred to abstain. “I am not a politicized singer“, he simply justified himself. Before him, another artist explained why he doesn’t like talking about politics either. “I have always claimed to be apolitical. I think that the position of an artist is precisely to keep this function which allows people not to choose“, he informed Pascal Obispo, on the set of Pro Hour, on September 15. The tone is set.
Calogero: this phrase that marked him in his childhood
While the children found their schoolbags and their classmates on September 4, Calogero played a professor in the TV movie breathe, broadcast on September 12 on M6. Against a backdrop of school harassment, fiction suits the singer well, who confided in 7 Days TV about his own school memories. A principal predicted to him in particular: “He will do nothing with his life“. “I don’t feel any bitterness about that.because I never believed in this sentence“, confided the singer.
The son of Italian immigrants, Calogero was not the best at school, even if he still keeps some good memories of some teachers. It was his parents who were the most traumatized by this abrupt sentence from a principal without vision. The artist also remembers from a difficult school with school bullying and fights in the playground, but according to him, the teachers had more authority.
