Music video
The music video directed by Mehdi Idir portrays a wedding of a friend of Grand Corps Malade. When Grand Corps Malade sees the disastrous musical act hired for the wedding party, he pitches in to "save" the wedding party by calling on the help of Reda Taliani and some fellow musicians, winning the previously bored invitees over with his poetry and song.
Although the song is meant to be a wedding song, Grand Corps Malade uses the opportunity turning it into a "wish list" of what he aspires in seeing in French society through his slam poetry, with Reda Taliani responding to his "list" with "Inch'Allah" (God willing in Arabic).
A number of artists, athletes and French celebrities make cameo appearances in the music video including former tennis player and artist Yannick Noah, footballer Lilian Thuram, comedian, actor and radio and TV personality Eric Judor, actress Mathilda May, DJ Abdel, rappers Rim'K, Kamini, Soprano, as well as Tunisiano and Aketo (both from hip hop band Sniper).[http://www.greatsong.net/MUSIQUE-AKETO-RIM-K-ET-YANNICK-NOAH-DANS-INCHALLAH-DE-GRAND-CORPS-MALADE-REDA-TALIANI-28858.html Great Song site: Aketo, Rim-K et Yannick Noah dans Inch'Allah de Grand Corps Malade & Reda Taliani]
