“Après Tintin au Congo j’ai lu Sarkozy à Dakar / 50 minutes d’insultes… accusé à la barre / Blague à part, un fantasme d’il y a 400 ans / Une vision de l’Africain rappelant Tarzan.” A translation of Gabonese musician Lord Ekomy Ndong’s letter to Sarkozy would read something like this: “After Tintin in Congo I’ve read Sarkozy in Dakar / 50 minutes of insults… accused at the bar / Joking aside, a 400 year old fantasy / A vision of the African reminiscent of Tarzan.” – Tom Devriendt
