Résumé

CityZen: an eco-friendly city that uses its incredible trees to heal a post-apocalyptic Earth. Amal, an ultra-committed high school student, is ready to do her part as soon as she finishes her studies. But she'll have to contend with her sister, Sana, an activist who's determined to destroy this ethical city—a bastion of short supply chains and degrowth... Torn between her love for her sister and her environmental beliefs, Amal will have to choose a side!French singer Jain steps away from the world of music to write this unexpected, entertaining, and uncompromising reflection on environmentalism.

  • Jain (auteur)

    Fille d'une famille d'expatriés, Jain passe une partie de sa jeunesse à Pointe-Noire, au Congo. Nourrie par les influences tout en swing de ses parents, d'Aretha Franklin à Janis Joplin jusqu'à Otis Redding, Jain se met très vite à pratiquer la guitare et la batterie avant de composer ses propres morceaux. Et de les enregistrer, grâce à ce jeune homme que lui présentent ses amis du lycée&nbsp;: «&nbsp;Monsieur Flash&nbsp;», un passionné de rumba habitué des scènes de Pointe-Noire, qui dispose chez lui de tout un matériel de studio. «&nbsp;La soul de mes parents et mes années africaines sont ancrées en moi. Ma musique a toujours été pleine de couleurs, donc&nbsp;», décrit Jain.<br><br> Suivant les pérégrinations de ses parents, celle-ci quitte bientôt l'Afrique pour découvrir ensuite les Émirats arabes unis et leur capitale Abu Dhabi. Là-bas, elle apprend à maîtriser les percussions orientales et ajoute à son répertoire d'inspirations les envolées de la grande voix arabe Fairouz. Surtout, passant des différences culturelles de l'Afrique à l'Orient, Jain se forge une conscience du monde. «&nbsp;J'ai eu une jeunesse déroutante. J'ai vu des choses qui m'ont permis de savoir sur quelle planète je vis, avec ses différences, explique la chanteuse. Cela me permet de garder la tête froide.&nbsp;»<br><br> Arrivée à Paris, Jain rencontre le producteur Yodelice qui la signe sur son label Spookland. Du mélange de leurs expériences naîtra son premier album. «&nbsp;Zanaka&nbsp;»,<i> </i>«&nbsp;enfant&nbsp;» en langue malgache, dit tous ces enthousiasmes, ces secousses et cette délicatesse des pays de soleil qui ont fait la vie de Jain jusque-là. Un journal du c&oelig;ur de dix morceaux dont le fameux «&nbsp;Makeba&nbsp;»<i>, </i>et sa célébration puissante de l'Afrique.<br><br> Paru en 2015, ce premier album consacré disque de diamant vaut même à Jain la Victoire de la musique de l'interprète féminine de l'année en 2017 et une nomination aux Grammy Awards, à New York, au début de l'année 2018. Depuis la sortie de «&nbsp;Zanaka&nbsp;», Jain prend toujours plus la route&nbsp;: elle compile aujourd'hui plus de 200 dates de concert. Il y a eu les 30 000 personnes qui l'ont applaudie devant la scène du festival des Vieilles Charrues, en France, ou bien toutes ces salles d'Amérique, de Nashville à Los Angeles et New York, où Jain est venue faire découvrir sa musique, s'imposant ainsi comme l'une des principales artistes francophones outre-Atlantique. «&nbsp;Là-bas, il a fallu convaincre. J'avais l'impression de retrouver une base&nbsp;»,<i> </i>note Jain. <br><br> De nouvelles expériences qui finissent par pousser la jeune Toulousaine à reprendre le chemin du studio. «&nbsp;Un nouveau souffle&nbsp;», dit-elle simplement. Toujours accompagnée de Yodelice, Jain a passé les derniers mois à mettre la main à un deuxième album donnant à saisir un peu plus fort cette passion amoureuse pour le rythme. Bien sûr, ici il est encore question d'Afrique, comme sur le morceau «&nbsp;Oh Man&nbsp;», accompagné du kora du Malien Sidiki Diabaté, fils du légendaire Toumani. «&nbsp;Ceci dit, je voulais évoluer aussi, ajoute Jain. Aller au-delà de ce qui me suit toujours. Cette fois, il y a un mélange.&nbsp;»<i> </i><br><br> <i>&nbsp;</i><br><br> Avec «&nbsp;Souldier&nbsp;», son 2e album, elle creuse sa curiosité pour le monde et ses variations.<br><br> Parallèlement à la parution de sa bande dessinée «&nbsp;CityZen&nbsp;» (avec Toledano, Robledo, Léa Galice et Perez) aux éditions Dupuis, son 3e album musical est en cours de préparation.
  • Perez Damien (auteur)

    Damien Perez was born in 1972 with a yearning that pushed him towards the world of comics, where he could have fun in a thousand different ways. He has worked as a journalist for "BoDoï," "Vécu," "Casemate," "Tchô !" and as an interviewer and editor for "Le Journal Spirou." Being a father of four with an interest in transmitting knowledge, he founded and directed "Groom," a magazine deciphering current events for children in the form of comics. The biggest names in the profession, as well as public figures from all walks of life, participated in the creation a few issues that were widely read and talked about, before "Groom" came to an end in 2017. Perez was also the editor of a "Méga Spirou" edition dedicated to Gaston (2018), a project that gave him the opportunity to meet Nobel Prize winners, politicians, authors, and actors, all fans of Franquin's character. He has also edited a few albums for Dupuis, including "Deathfix," by Nix and Benus and "Complotistes," by Fabrice Erre and Jorge Bernstein. As a writer, he has created several albums, including "I.N.R.I - L'enquête," with Denis Falque and Didier Convard (Glénat), the series "L'Ordre du chaos," with Sophie Ricaume (Delcourt), and "CityZen," (Dupuis; Europe Comics in English) a science-fictional and ecological one-shot with the singer Jain, Léa Galice, Marcial Toledano, and José Robledo. In his spare time, he also participates in round tables and drawing battles in various comic festivals in France and Belgium.
  • Galice Léa (auteur)

    Passionate about comics, adventures, and learning about various—and sometimes absurd—things, it is quite naturally that Léa threw herself enthusiastically into co-writing "CityZen" (Dupuis; Europe Comics in English) when her sister Jeanne (Jain) asked her to participate in the project alongside her.Her first comic book, "Jim & Kim," was written when she was 9 years old. It was an inspiring and exciting story about two soul mates who meet, work, and fall in love for life. Later, she managed to deconstruct these capitalist, patriarchal, and Judeo-Christian clichés.At the age of 33, after many experiences abroad, 15 years living in Paris, and 3 companies created in cycling, product development, and video games, this project represents the realization of a childhood dream.

    Born in Talavera de la Reina in 1980, Toledano has a degree in fine arts from the Complutense University of Madrid, where he met José Robledo in 2001. That same year they were selected for the National Illustration and Comics competition of Injuve, which ultimately allowed them to be published by Sinsentido in a collective album "Tapa Roja" in 2003. They also worked on pre-production and production of animated cartoons. During 2005 and 2006, they participated in various drawing exhibitions and travel diaries for "L'Espace Sinsentido," "Pantha Rei," and "Estampa." In 2006, Diábolo published a compilation of their short stories. In 2007, they started working on their first Franco-Belgian series, "Ken Games" with publisher Dargaud. In 2012, they participated in a collective project "WW 2.2," and in 2016 the pair released the first volume of "Tebori" (Dargaud; Europe Comics in English), a tattoo-embellished Japanese mafia thriller. They also work as graphic designers and illustrators for Belio, MGZ, CALLE20, Sony, and the Madrid City Council.
