Delivering a concert outside the country is the most expensive dream of Malagasy artists. They consider this to be an evolution, a great stride since they spanned the oceans to get there in the neighboring islands, in Africa and especially in Europe and in the United States. To materialize his most expensive dream, the artist must take steps. First, there must be thousands of subscribers reacting to his posts. Which absolutely means that he pierces in his locality. Then comes the manager’s work. He must also have his long arm, namely, having close relations with the DJs-animators of the most trendy clubs as well as the event organizers. Once these conditions are required, the singer and his agent go to the upper level. Consequently, inductors residing in the southwest islands of the Indian Ocean, in this case Mayotte, Reunion or even Mauritius will be called upon to promote the artist’s works with the diaspora. Attracted by the eye of the initiators of cultural projects, the collective leader receives an invitation. This is how things work in the current musical world. In truth, unlike Jaojoby and Mahaleo who played Olympia with thousands of people of different nationalities, many singers occur in fairly cramped rooms, and see nostalgic compatriots before them. This reality is however jealously hidden. Concert fineafysaid international success. Unfortunately, this is not quite the case. In addition, there is always an exception. Some openly reveal the hassle that they crossed during their tour. “” I prefer to chain concerts in Madagascar instead of going outside unless a foreign event organizer establishes the contract. I admit that here I earn twice as much … It is true that the organizer pays the plane ticket which costs about 4 million ariary, the accommodation is so expensive. And when we have finished the tour, we do not give more than 2,000 euros. With this sum, I buy three or four things, I have 500 or 700 euros, that is to say around 2,500,000 AR. While here, I manage to collect 3,000,000 AR per week », Testifies an artist preferring to silence his name. Apparently, the showback takes over.
