They have one thing in common: to always be in action.For his show, he managed to convince those who never stop to take a break. A break to which his guests are not accustomed, they who look ahead, and do not always take the time to reflect on their life journey.Unpublished and unconventional interviews with guests whose words are rare.In this second episode, Ramdane exchanges with the legendary American multi-instrumentalist Laraaji. An essential figure in the New Age movement, the 80-year-old young man has always seen music as a means of healing. The man who began with jazz training, stand-up comedian, aspiring actor and part-time jazz pianist, has produced no less than 50 albums, long, hypnotic and captivating compositions.At the microphone of Ramdane Touhami, Laraaji avoids nothing: her childhood, her mother's "church for cinema" deal, the piano at 10, her discovery of New York, the activism of the 60s, the discovery of meditation in the 70s, his meeting with Brian Eno...A fascinating interview, a particular x-ray of the entire second half of the 20th century.Réalisation: Elsa Daynac Hosted on Acast.

Procrastination, n.f, tendance à ajourner, à remettre systématiquement au lendemain.Cette définition, Ramdane Touhami la déteste. Dans Procrastinophobic, il part à la rencontre de celles et ceux qui sont dans le mouvement perpétuel et qui marquent leur époque: musiciens, artistes, sportifs, galeristes, entrepreneurs… Ils ont un point commun: d’être toujours en action.Pour son émission, il a réussi à convaincre ceux qui ne s’arrêtent jamais de faire une pause. Une pause à laquelle ses invités ne sont pas habitués, eux qui regardent devant, et ne prennent pas toujours le temps de se pencher sur leur parcours de vie. Des entretiens inédits et peu conformistes avec des invités dont la parole est rare.Dans ce premier épisode, Ramdane est allé à la rencontre du plus grand galeriste français, Yvon Lambert: ses origines, son enfance, les prémices de son goût pour l'art, ses rencontres avec des artistes incroyables.... Pour la première fois, le très discret Yvon Lambert, l'enfant unique d'un chauffeur de taxi et d'une épicière, se confie sans retenue et raconte son parcours atypique, qui l'a emmené au firmament de la profession.Réalisation: Elsa Daynac Hosted on Acast.
