Florent Pagny makes his big comeback “for a good cause“. According to information revealed by The Parisian this Sunday October 13, 2024, the interpreter of Know how to love is currently engaged in a new musical project.
The latter, carried out in collaboration with several artists, aims to supporting the famous Canadian sailor and activist, Paul Watson
Florent Pagny on crusade
Incarcerated since the end of July in the Far North, the founder of the NGO Sea Shepherd was the subject of an international warrant issued by Japan due to his actions against whaling.
His arrest, however, caused a veritable media tidal wave, leading to widespread mobilization by artists.
“If with my little voice I can be useful, I do it“, assured Florent Pagny in the columns of our colleagues before adding: “I rarely get involved, because I’m not an activist, I don’t do politics“.
This cause is particularly dear to him because he enjoys watching whales off the coast of Patagonia, where he has a home.
“It’s 250 km from us, in Puerto Madryn. Between the jets and the fins, I already found myself counting 60 whales around me. Magic!“, he revealed. “Frankly, I have the same feeling when you put a bullet in a doe, a peaceful animal. I can wear python or crocodile jackets but these, if they come across a human, not sure it will go too well for him“.
A collaborative project
Always according to The Parisian, Florent Pagny would have already recorded the title written by Francis Lalanne in its entirety.
Other artists like Anne Sylla, Arielle Dombasle, David Hallyday, Manu Lanvin, Fabienne Thibeault, Yannick Noah, Véronique Sanson, Tryo and Cali will also contribute with their voices so that “Paul Watson’s file doesn’t go to the bottom of the pile, which we don’t get used to“.
“There must be as many people as possible, from all the chapels: alternative, variety…“, specified the interpreter of That’s when happiness. A great project for a noble cause!
