Nantali Indongo

Nantali Indongo, the rapper of the group Nomadic Massive, has long refrained from using the word Bitch in the lyrics of the songs she sings. As an Afro-descendant and mother, she considers that this word’s purpose has always been to dehumanize the Black woman. However, at the junction of the Black Lives Matter and #MeToo movements, she decided for the f irst time to use the b-word as a cry from the heart in her song Time . Aware of the complexity posed by the trivialization of this word, she embarked on a “word movie” across the Americas to understand the origins of the word and its many connotations over time. Her journey allowed her to give a voice larger- than-life to Black women, so that they could themselves express their opinions on the word bitch.

Belle et Bum est une émission de télévision québécoise de 90 minutes (maintenant 60 minutes) portant sur la musique et diffusée le samedi à 21 heures sur les ondes de Télé-Québec (et en reprise les vendredis suivants à 22 heures). L'émission est enregistrée devant public au théâtre national. L'émission est variée. Après un moment de spectacle endiablé sur scène, on passe à une atmosphère intime avec le piano à gogo. Autour d'un piano, on découvre le choix musical d'un invité, vedette sans être professionnel de la chanson. On l'accompagne alors qu'il chante certaines chansons et l'on joue pour lui des chansons de son choix.
