the challenge 100 years

my heart

[Music]

yes I am an artist

I do not have a conventional job

I’m at the boxing author this is a

hard job

there are ups and downs but it’s

the one I chose and it’s for the

life at the age of 7 I found a

flyers announcing a competition

singing for children and I wanted to

participate

my benevolent mother advised me against

to go there she told me you risk to

lose and you’ll cry

I told him mom if I lose I

will surely cry a few days

but if you stop me from going I

would cry all my life then my

parents lives in me some

determination already very small

they accompanied me and I won

the first prize a coloring book

so there were some sharks

in the room ready to make money

on my little face but my parents

wanted to protect me they told themselves

if she has a dream we will help her to

achieve

my father was my mother’s printer

housewife

it is finally still they said to themselves

we’re going to take him to the studio we’re going

save the songs and then if that

works so much better if it does not work

we will have a good memory

so when I arrived in his

studios nobody could have imagined

that she was going to be born in me a

real vocation and even a profession on

sent this disc a little bit everywhere

to the media and I was immediately

called to sing in all the

la France

on television and radio and

and then had this children’s show

that I watched every Wednesday

mornings marvel with my drawings

favorite animated

hi the little wolves on the first

french channel

I was invited to sing in my

luck in my favorite show

and then the producer charmed by the

little bit in train that I was me

proposed to sing the credits of

the issue and soon after from

become the presented games host

therefore indirect three hours every

Wednesday morning on the first channel

French

I brought you a small excerpt

watch

[Music]

OK

bissonnet a week see this more

close with the weather today

from west to east

it puts strength

and the province will be spared

it was great

I even had a class of

geography at the same time then

precisely speaking of the passes I had

stop the classical school system

to take classes by

correspondence

and then I started to have a life

original a very different life a

adult life

I had responsibilities

that I learn dozens of pages of

texts every week

I had rehearsals on Wednesday

morning I had to be from

6 hours on the plateaus to make me

dress up make me make up and be

ready for this live three hours and

then I lived in palaces because

that I had my singing career in

parallel I did 7 45 for an album

I was doing tours in France but

even internationally until Japan

and then I remember

of the Cannes festival where I had been

invited to the carnival of nice where I

sang in front of a crowd I do not

did not see the tip and then there was

the bodyguards at sikkim

were waiting at the exit I could not

no longer walking in the street without signing

autograph

so I thought at that moment that

it was really for life you know

in a child’s head we can not

imagine an end we are not worried about

that moment we say to ourselves just here I am

am a singer I am an actress and I

will do this all my life

and besides there were the newspapers

who was heading orly loose on the themes

paul médine france this actress

american who had a very very

great career so I saw myself

already as they follow this great

career and then come to the age of

13 years is the fall

unemployment

yes me who had been approved in

the guinness book of records as

that the youngest animator of

television

I was about to beat a new

record that of the youngest unemployed

of France so on the spot I have not

understood what happened to me the little

girl who had been adulated during

all these years find themselves diving

in anonymity

and then I wondered how

I was going to be able to do it because I

did not want to be a lawyer or doctor

my life was on stage I lost the

taste for studies and I told myself

good I’m doing I’m going to work I’m going

find a solution to find on

scene I’m going to set up a business

why not a company

of event

it’s true with an art agency I

could myself produce me back

on stage present events

I had seen people do that I

I thought it was great I thought

if the media do not want me anymore

it’s okay I’ll find myself

work alone

the problem is that I did not have

money then it took me

work

and then while other teens

had concerns about their age

my concern was to come back

on stage that’s all so I’m

remember that I worked in this

workshop a routing workshop or

we sent mail in large

number and I stick labels on

envelopes

so to find the positive side

I told myself we’re going to put some

pace and I became the fastest

to stick these labels on the

envelopes and I told myself that more

I was fast and faster I went

arrive at the creation of my

business

what I did I started to

sing to present events

it was fantastic I was winning very

well my life and then after a while

I started to get tired of it

to hear the sound of the forks of

people who were eating

while while I was singing people

who I did not even hear myself sing

and then I sang songs of

others and then I really did not have my

directory and then I knew more than

I was doing really I

not bad galley and at the age of 26

my entourage always very

benevolent told me I was finished

that I was too old to do this

job

so here I took a slap again

I was told that I had to find

a normal job I marry that

I have children and I enter the

mold

normal work

how to find a job

normal when you only have one degree

in the pocket of the youngest

TV host

I did not know they were going

to hire me with that so I have not

accepted to resign myself

I told myself orly we will not come

knock on your door

if you want to continue doing this job

you’re going to have to type

to doors

so I remembered my seven years

of that determination and that

competition in which I wanted to participate and

it brought me back to looking for

auditions there was this little

announcement in a newspaper that announced

we were looking for great music

international musical king

lion this musical that was

played on broadway and a little bit

all over the world sought for

look for these new talents for the

musical that was in the process of

play at that moment in a round end

but I thought no matter I’m going

go there then announce it also said

that he was looking for blacks of half-breeds

and people who sang gospel

quite me

not without laughing I knew I knew

I did not know it was not really

for me but I thought it’s not

serious is a big production

maybe beyond the lion king they

will tell me it’s not good for her

will make him do mamma mia I know

nothing so I went there I got

present

and then I had all his detractors

who told me that little voice you

know we hear I’m sure that

has happened to you when

you want to do something

of big and then suddenly you

hear those little demons that you

say no it’s not for you you’re there

will not be too old

was not good enough you have more

talent is not good and ben I have them

heard then at the beginning it got me a

little braked I went to

backwards

and then suddenly I have something

who is mounted in less these same

detractors gave me the strength to me

present in front of the jury members

when i sang i’m so excited they

started dancing on their chairs

so from then on to

pass one I spent a long process

of hearing with texts to learn

it was in English there were

texts and had songs needed

to play comedy there were

dance auditions etc

I did this for several days

but hey, I always had the courage

until the moment we came to see me and

told me orly congratulations you have

successful you will participate in the audition

final in german yes so I do not

did not speak a word of German

is when the hearing in two weeks

yes of course yes so I left

with my script and there I told myself

well we read how to do it and all right

just do my father gave us

always tell all children

do what you want but do it

well then I wanted to do well I

took a professor from the courses of

phonetic the translation of the text for

to interpret well interpret the

song

and then I arrived again

in front of the jury members in hamburg

I said my text the song etc

and after a fortnight I had the

response a three-year contract for the

musical lion king

I will sing on debt music

yellow belton in front of two thousand and three

hundred people eight times a week

double chooz on the 5th

and on sunday and there is the

Renaissance

that’s it I came back under

projectors and projectors

what scene more than 50 artists from

musicians singers who were

auditioned in more than 20 countries

and there me orly

the little girl I thought they

had lost his talent found himself at

middle of this case is exceptional

there is I succeeded and then you imagine

that three years is more than

1000 shows a thousand times I’m

staged on stage a thousand times I

sang the same songs I said the

same text

so yes it was great but

I wanted to move on

and since I had succeeded that I

could also succeed something else then

I started a new challenge I

am saying like

I love Latin music so what

I could do for example it’s

to go to cuba

learn to dance salsa and to

speaking spanish would be great then

I can havana cuba welcome

and here I imagine all the clichés

I was told that so far

bass and mojitos the cigar soon

we arrive at the airport we start

dance the salsa

Well not so here I come

and then it’s the slap I fall in front

the reality is that low and it’s

full of joie de vivre but for

people who have a lot of difficulties

then there are some lacks of all

in Cuba for example I lived in

buildings where there was water 30

minutes a day where we celebrated

the arrival of electricity by

shouts of joy and gaulle with the osm with the ckc

supermarket where there was nothing to

eat and lots of people who were saying

can not live here and ben me

the European suddenly I arrive and

I say I ‘m going to turn to live to

Cuba

I want to live this adventure

exceptional and elsewhere in cuba

I discovered my new identity

musical that’s it I did not know what

to do so well I’m going to sing

Latin music and then that

looked like that

[Music]

if you

I do not know

tested

my

for sure

no

my

[Music]

OK

Oh

my

[Music]

at

m

[Music]

[Applause]

thank you I have there on luck today

to be accompanied by a Cuban put

for 11 years and withdrawal gallinacées not

done so here i lived to cube up

are six years old and i wanted to cuba

also be a singer then what is

that I did I asked for a license to

work that I got after the last

two long years

and then I quickly became a

of the most popular singers of

Cuba thank you it was amazing this

adventure I started to have my

own concerts with my songs

I sang with great artists

as for example omara portuondo who

is the diva buena vista buena

vista social club

and then I talk about it with a lot

of emotion as you see and it’s a

example this woman since she has

sung all his life it was the age of

66 years old she became famous

so you think we all have

the opportunity and the time to do

to reach the end of your dreams

and then so I did I did all

these concerts I made video clips

fantastic I made shows

radio and TV I found the

celebrity that I had when I was

little I realized that

finally it was not important

[Applause]

the most important for me was

to have an audience singing them

to have in front of me to give

energy and to receive

so

after having this maturity

artistic but also this peace

interior I was able to return to

sources

i left cuba i left in

israel the country where I was born and that

my parents left while I

had only one name and I thought I

not taking the language of the country I

do not really know the culture

I am more Cuban than Israeli

so if in cuba I sang two

Israeli songs on rhythms

salsa

why would not I go to israel sing

Cuban songs and bring them

the experience I had lived there

so I’ve been doing this since I’m in

israel i have my own concept i have

concerts where I sing my three

fatherland france israel and cuba i

share the joy of life that drives me

since the day I knew this

fantastic land and I thank the

Cubans for that and so I share with

she all my audience today

the story that I told you in

music

I hope my story will inspire

other people and that she

will push out of their comfort zone

and dare to take action and the times

where you find that life is

difficult and sometimes even just

remember that the villa and its

carnival
