Après plusieurs années passées dans une école d’art à Londres, dans les années 90, l’homme touche-à-tout tord le carton et participe à la conception des décors pour l’émission tv jeunesse les Minikeums, il chante sur son projet personnel Sportès et enregistre un album chez Eric Serra avant de découvrir les possibilités qu’offre la musique sur ordinateur.
Il se lance alors distraitement dans un nouveau duo électro intitulé Sporto Kantès qui siffle encore aujourd’hui aux oreilles du plus grand nombre. Succès. L’aventure aux côtés de Nicolas Kantorowicz, bassiste des Wampas, durera quinze ans et quatre albums.
En 2013, il tourne la page pour une période empreinte de questionnements sur l’avenir. Il en ressort un rejet total et momentané de la musique et une profusion de dessins crayonnés, griffonnés, noirs, caustiques, poétiques...
En 2016, c’est la musique qui reprend le dessus lorsqu’il se décide à présenter son nouveau projet solo intitulé Futuro Pelo (les futurs cheveux pour un homme qui n’en a plus). Les équipes de Pain Surprises et Délicieuse Musique accueillent avec enthousiasme ce joyeux mélange de pop, de textes chantés en français, anglais, espagnol, et de samples trouvés par d’heureux hasards dans les sons de sa collection personnelle qui navigue entre tous les extrêmes (rockabilly, world, funk, pop moderne, house…). Futuro Pelo compile sa science de la pop et ses trouvailles dans deux EP successifs sortis en 2017 (Bluff) et 2018 (Eden).
La naissance de Futuro Pelo s’accompagne de celle de Monsieur Bouche présent sur les pochettes et les clips. Monsieur Bouche est l’ami imaginaire de Benjamin Sportès, sa façon d’exprimer en dessin ce qu’il n’arrive pas à dire à l’oral.
Début 2020 sort A BIGGER SPLASH, en clin d’oeil à David Hockney et allégorie au grand saut du premier album. Avec ce titre, Benjamin Sportès matérialise aussi un saut dans le vide, le besoin de « dire » les choses, de moins faire diversion et d’être au plus près des émotions. Douze années de psychanalyse au rythme de deux séances par semaine l’ont très certainement guidées vers ça.

Futuro Pelo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
(I don't, I really don't)
Across the room (across the room)
I looked away (I looked away)
Looking out for paralyzed and blown away
I kept around (I kept around)
Where Jesus swayed (Where Jesus swayed)
Christmas Day.
(I don't, I don't)
(I don't, I really don't)
(I don't, I don't)
(I don't, I really don't)
(I don't, I really don't)
(I don't, I really don't)
Across the room (across the room)
I looked away (I looked away)
Looking out for paralyzed and blown away
I kept around (I kept around)
Where Jesus swayed (Where Jesus swayed)
And all the bells were ringing out for
Christmas Day.
(I don't, I don't)
(I don't, I really don't)
(I don't, I don't)
(I don't, I really don't)
I really don't.
(French Speach)
The lyrics of Futuro Pelo's song Swamp may seem cryptic at first, but upon closer inspection, they hint at the idea of detachment from the world and the search for something meaningful. The repetition of the phrase "I don't, I really don't" throughout the song suggests a sense of apathy towards what's going on around the singer, as if they are disengaged or disillusioned.
The first stanza features the singer standing across the room, disinterested in what's going on, and keeping to themselves. The mention of Jesus swaying and the bells ringing out for Christmas Day give a sense of nostalgia and perhaps a longing for simpler times. The next stanza repeats the same lines, emphasizing the singer's detachment and apathy towards their surroundings.
The rap in French towards the end of the song brings a change in tone and adds more depth to the lyrics. The words suggest that sometimes life can feel like a swamp that the singer is struggling to get out of. It hints at the idea of feeling stuck in a rut and trying to break free from it.
Overall, the lyrics of Swamp are thought-provoking and open to interpretation. They explore themes of detachment, apathy, and the search for meaning in life.

@capoeirabisonte
Benjamin Sportès s'émancipe de Sporto Kantes après plus de 15 ans. On sent très bien la filiation de Futuro Pelo, et c'est très prometteur. Longue vie, pour le meilleur et pour nos oreilles
