France is a place where 1 in 4 people have a grandparent of foreign origins (not like me, my 4 granparents were born abroad, yet I'm 100% French, Liberté, Egalité, Fraternité, not the hocus-pocus of religion that replaced the hocus-pocus of communism in my grandparents' country)
Jazz music is also a melting pot of different origins. Here in France, before I was born, gypsies - a general term for people coming from different parts of the continent, with different idioms, or even languages, different styles of music crafted what we call "Jazz manouche" ("Manouche" being a general term for gypsies, but most of the time rom Eastern Europe, those from Spain and the Mediterranean are most of the times called "Gitans")
A "niglo" is a hedgehog, a delicacy for some gypsy communities. It's also a term that means "a dumb one, a stupid one" in some circles (the Jewish, Moroccan, Gypsy friends I had in my late teens) . There's even a park called "Nigloland", can you believe it ?

La Valse des Niglos :
It also reminds me of some Portuguese fado songs...
I'm happy to be in a country where religion stays at home, where it's not your colour of skin, or your religion, or how much you can pay for education that will define your future, where people pay alot of taxes so their fellow-citizens, the poor and helpless can live a decent life. Even if it's far from perfect...
I'm so glad I live in a secular country that many of you would call "socialist" - but I'm not a "communist" !
