Article : While in #Paris for #TraceMusicAwards2014, the singer and producer AKON took the time to reconsider his future endeavors on the controversy sparked by one of his last concerts and Booba . Q-1) Why did you choose to interpret Paris for the first time your new single ? #Akon - Its actually Trace who chose Paris . And I chose Trace. (laughs). I always liked the way this chain defends urban culture and music of the world. When you look at Trace , you get a little bit of everything from African music , Caribbean , American, ... You have a mixture of everything, and I like listening to music from a broad perspective . Q-2 ) Is a new album will succeed this unique single? I m going to play tonight one of my new singles , (three will come out soon). Well all go out before the end of the year, but this is the first out was because he talks about things to the world, peace, which must be expressed now . Q-3) One gets the impression that in recent years , your job as a producer ( including Lady Gaga) has taken over your job as a singer? In fact , my job as a producer and songwriter is really my first job . It allows me not only to produce but also to collaborate with other artists , which is a real pleasure. Q-4) You did a concert in Goma there a few days. On the Internet you have been charged to protect yourself Ebola putting you in a giant bubble. Does it hurt you ? I was quite surprised to see that, because I use this bubble for more than five years. I do it all over a long time. So I was troubled that it is interpreted as negative .. I think the concert in honor of the peace could have been relayed in a much better way. How some media have thought I was trying to protect me from Ebola ? It shocked me . Q-6) Does the spread of Ebola worry you? That does not scare me at all, because I do not think it is still strong enough to reach us. The media insist more than necessary on this spread , and give it too much importance when you consider the number of people infected over the number of people in these areas then , let alone in the world , this is not that big a threat this . In addition there are remedies . Q-7) You worked with on his album Lunatic Booba . What does he mean to you? Booba s like my brother. Ive known him a long time since we worked together on the featuring of Locked -up , so when he contacted me to Lunatic , I was delighted , I said of course . But there is more to me. As I said it embodies a collaboration between two worlds, even if people in the United States can not be understand what he says, and if some people in France do not understand what I say , it always includes energy drains the song behind it. Do Booba could sing in English? Now yes , certainly. 9) Why did he not ? Booba just wants to follow its own rules . I think if he started rapping in English now , her French fans would wonder what he does! (laughs) And I think he made the right choice . I love his latest album Future. He did a good job, he is growing up . Q-10) Featuring a new set is it possible ? Yes , of course. lesinrocks/2014/10/23/musique/akon-11531462/…
