My friend JJ grew up in Palm Desert and was the only blonde in her grade school which was choc full of latino kids. I was a latina kid at predominantly white schools. But neither of us wins the "Fish Out of Water" contest if we're up against Kamini.
He's a French rapper/nurse (yes, I said a rapper and a nurse) of Congolese descent who grew up as the only black kid in an itty bitty French village called Marly-Gomont, where the average age is 65 years old, 95% of the population is made up of cows and all the other inhabitants are whiter than white.
He wrote a little song about it, made a low budget video with a friend, put it online and suddenly became a hit. It's a funny take on his life and he gets the farmers to dance a little hip hop, but he does take a stab at the racism he dealt with growing up. This video has been big in France for a few months now and the latest is that it's inspired a few young whipper snappers to steal Marly-Gomont road signs. The Sunday news did a report in which residents of the town and Kamini himself told sign stealers to cut it out. Check out the video- if you don't speak French I found an unofficial translation of the lyrics online here.
