Piracy rules here and the artists want to make sure people can buy their albums.<BR/><BR/>I don't know much about the studios here but I think their facilities don't match the talent and the potential of the Malagasy artists.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6146962885201070339.post-33776301608017173502009-03-19T10:13:00.000+01:002009-03-19T10:13:00.000+01:00Hi Tahina,I almost suspected as much.

Are we talking some sort of popular/"african" dance here or electronic dance? How would a DJ work for the former? Or did he not DJ nights, just promote them?<BR/><BR/>Thank you immensely for the fact updates (which are going into the OP) and I've just added your blog to my RSS reader. While I totally love watching all these great videos, what I'm really after would be a better-quality musical record to be able to keep and play, but a lot of the material only gets VCD releases, correct?<BR/><BR/>//JohanBirdseedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01161105277182690887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6146962885201070339.post-61245258576753166622009-03-19T07:19:00.000+01:002009-03-19T07:19:00.000+01:00Hey Johan,thanks for this post first it's cool you...Hey Johan,<BR/><BR/>thanks for this post first it's cool you're interested in what's going on in my country. Andry Rajoelina is a former DJ way back in the 90s and at that time the trend in Madagascar was "dance", nothing to do with hip-hop. He used to organize popular and big events and to invite foreign celebrities as well (but not hip-hop stars).<BR/><BR/>I don't know who's rapping in this video but I'm not sure his movement is surrounded by hip-hop.<BR/><BR/>History will tell us whether he's a good prez or not but for the time being he promises changes to the country and all Malagasy people.<BR/><BR/>In case you want to see some real Malagasy hip-hop vids just drop me a line.<BR/><BR/>TahinaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
