After a delicate year 2024, Madagascar finding itself at the bottom of the ranking of the richest countries in the world, the new year promises to be uncertain. However, the artists have their wishes for the country, for their compatriots, for music lovers and art lovers, of course.
Zouzar Valibhay – painter
I wish you all a very happy new year 2025. May 2025 be painted with health, prosperity and joy. Whether the colors are dark or bright, always have the patience and common sense to help you create the picture of your happiness. Because don’t forget, you are the one holding the paintbrush of your life. Have a great new year and keep room for creativity every day. Goodbye and see you soon friends
Patricia Haingohaja Rakotovao – actress
This year? For me it will be more films, quality cinema. I believe that the seventh art experienced a slowdown last year. So I hope that we focus on the actors and comedians of the new generation, and long live the elders so that they can pass on their know-how to us.
Momo the sorcerer – comedian
I wish everyone a very happy new year, filled with joy, happiness, prosperity, success and above all health. Health is very important. I wish all young Malagasy people good conscience for this new year, for their personal success and for the city where they are. And I pray for the evolution of the life situation of the poor who are very often forgotten. May the peace and mercy of God be upon us all.
Nino Pillar – cartoonist
To all my artist friends, May this new cycle bring us renewed energy to achieve all our goals and take on new challenges. Happy New Year 2025.
Konahy Junior – Slammer
These are the words we wish for each other. Strangely, when the 12 strokes of midnight sound the death knell for a new year, we become amnesiac of these troubles of last year. This is where I tell myself that each of us always harbors a touching innocence within us. So, for this time, I still wish you to keep hope even if the world sometimes falls apart, to keep smiling even if the days seem so difficult. Have faith in yourself and your dreams even if others say otherwise. Be that light that illuminates these dark times. Vow to be true to yourself! That’s it, I’ve said enough! I put down my pen and ink. Peace!
Yasmine Fidimalala – painter
I have no wishes/For you friends/I have “you can”/For whoever wants
I have no resolutions/And action in proposals/Let everyone get up to build their year/Let everyone proclaim their success
His excellent health/Let everyone create their own homemade recipe for happiness/As he/she wants/As he/she can
And the universe and God will do the rest/For God does not help those who do not know how to help themselves/
I have no wishes/And I make no apologies/I have “you can”/And “wishes” changed to “I want”
For mine/And those who know how to get up/Let’s build our year/The miracle is in our mouth, our word is sacred
Like the Zanahary who exist in each of us/Success is in our hands/We are the authors of our most beautiful poems and our most beautiful creations.
The creators of our own poetry, the artists of our life/Let us dare to be/Let us dare to do/Let your “I want” be!
May this year inspire us to give the best of ourselves and may ry mafolany reach out and help those in need (ry vahoaka madinika mijaly).
