dbo:abstract
  • Paul Bert Rahasimanana, plus connu sous le nom de Rossy, est un chanteur et auteur-compositeur malgache, généralement considéré comme l'artiste malgache le plus populaire des années 1990. Débutant sa carrière musicale en tant qu'accordéoniste et chanteur au sein d'une troupe de musique hira gasy traditionnelle, Rossy a innové en fusionnant l'instrumentation et le style vocal "hira gasy" avec des sons rock, funk et folk contemporains pour créer un genre unique de musique populaire contemporaine malgache. Rossy a activement soutenu l'ancien président Didier Ratsiraka à travers des concerts tout au long de sa présidence et a servi au sein du ministère de la Culture pour promouvoir les droits des artistes et la loi sur le droit d'auteur. Lorsque Ratsiraka est tombé en disgrâce à la suite des élections présidentielles malgaches controversées de 2001, Rossy s'est exilé en France tout en continuant sa carrière internationale. À partir de 2008, il est revenu donner des concerts sur l'île où il avait gardé une énorme popularité malgré six ans d'absence, établissant un record toujours d'actualité de 35 000 billets vendus pour une représentation donnée cette année-là. Ses compositions et son style sont fréquemment associés à la période socialiste de Ratsiraka et évoquent généralement un sentiment de nostalgie chez les fans malgaches. (fr)

He returned to the island to give concerts beginning in 2008 and enjoyed enormous popularity despite six years of absence, setting an unbroken record of 35,000 tickets sold for a performance given that year. His compositions and style are frequently associated with the Ratsiraka socialist period and commonly evoke a sense of nostalgia among Malagasy fans. (en)
