Biography

Alpha Diallo, better known by his stage name Black Mesrimes or Black M (born 27 December 1984), is a French rapper and singer-songwriter and member of the Sexion d'Assaut group. In 2014, he'd released his first solo album, entitled Les yeux plus gros que le monde, which shortly after was certified diamond. It was due to this album that he was launched into the French scene. Alpha Diallo's parents are of Guinean origin, precisely from the Donghol-Sigon region in Fouta Djalon. He grew up in the 13th arrondissement of Paris, a district in which he still lives today, coming from a modest family. The pseudonym Black Mesrimes is a play on words, a contraction between the name of the former public enemy number one, Jacques Mesrine, and the words “rhymes” and “black” evoking his skin color. Since 2020, he is mainly referred to as Black M. During his appearances in Sexion d'Assaut music videos, he uses certain facial expressions, such as making big eyes, an expression he made on the cover of his first album. He is considered one of the more technical members of Sexion d'Assaut, along with Gims and Lefa. With the group Sexion d'Assaut, Black M released two studio albums: L'École des points vitaux (2010) and L'Apogée (2012), two mixtapes: Les Chroniques du 75 (2009) and En attendant L'Apogée: les Chroniques du 75 (2011), two street albums: Le Renouveau (2008) and L'Écrasement de tête (2009), a mixtape: La Terre Du Milieu (2006), a reissue (2012), a live album: L'Apogée à Bercy (2012), three DVDs and a compilation: Best Of (2013). On 31 March 2014, Black M released his first solo album entitled Les yeux plus gros que le monde, relatively well received by the specialized press, sold 530,000 copies in December 2002 and certified diamond disc. In May 2014, his single "Sur ma route" ranked number 1 in sales in France and was certified platinum. On 8 September he released the music video for another single with Dr Beriz, "La légende Black". Black M announces the re-release of its first album under the name Le Monde plus gros que mes yeux (initially scheduled for release on 17 November 2014), the first single of which is "Je garde le sourire". At the same time, Black M is investing in other projects. He thus participates in the soundtrack of the film The New Adventures of Aladdin featuring Kev Adams, or on the compilation Touche pas à ma zik by Tefa and Cyril Hanouna. At the end of 2014, Black M announced the preparation of his second solo album, titled Éternel insatisfait. In 2016, he joined the troupe Les Enfoirés. On 28 October 2016, the album was released, followed by a tour, the “Éternel Big Black Tour”, which took place between April and December 2017. On 29 September 2017, he released the title "Death Note" and, a week more late, "Dress Code". These two extracts are found in the reissue of Éternel insatisfait, released on 17 November 2017. In November 2017, he announced that he was embarking on cinema with an autobiography which should begin filming at the beginning of 2018. On 18 April 2018, he did a private concert for one of his biggest fans of his initials "C.L", it was the best birthday present this old lady could have had! ...

Taratata

Taratata was a French TV show showcasing live and pre-recorded footage of current rock acts. Presented by Nagui since its début in 1993, the show was initially shown on France 2. The show often involved surprise and unlikely duets, as well as brief interviews with the artists. Taratata was cancelled in 2000, but returned in April 2005 on the public French network France 4 once a week on prime time, France 3, and late night once a month France 2 and Virgin Radio. Artists including Devendra Banhart, Katie Melua, and Ayo made their French TV debut on the show. The show's chief lighting technician, Jean-Philippe Bourdon, was awarded two Sept d'or in 1994 and 1995. The show featured unique duets and highlights new artists and uses different presenters for each episode. These aspects, and the general emphasis on original music, led the Conseil supérieur de l'audiovisuel to identify Taratata as a uniquely creative show on French TV in April 2009. The show aired throughout Europe on TV5MONDE Europe on Saturday nights. The show is also franchised to Dubai Television in Arabic with an almost identical format to its French counterpart.
