The Ny Voanio group celebrates its 60 years of stage this year. If this group might not mention anything to a fringe of the younger generations, it is a flagship group for the sixties and the generations that followed them.
Group history.The death of the six former members of the group plunged Ny Voanio into a long silence but their descendants decided to take over the torch.
For the record, the group created by Randrianasolo, the family patriarch and composed of Dédé, Max, Clarisse, Monique, Fara and Pâquerette, was part of a volleyball team that was different from an ultra short hairstyle, a bald limit that earned them the nickname “The Cocos”, while they win a competition organized by Ny Railovy.
The group “Les Cocos” became Ny Voanio thereafter, in reference to this specific exotic fruit in Tamatave, whose six members of the group all come. The group officially made its debut in 1965. They are known for their title ” I can’t forget you “,” BAZARY KELY “,” Diavolana And so many others.
The great comeback. The current composition of the group also features six members, namely Cynah, Holy, David, Toky, Nata, and Jocyah, who are all children of the former members of the group. They recognize that succeeding their is a real challenge but they have the ambition to defend their name well and the talents of their ancestors, especially within the framework of this great celebration.
Thus, the show that will mark this big return will be held at CC ESCAs on August 24. He will be placed under the leadership of Event’s Quality.
Three main parts
This show will have three main parts. In the first part, Ny Voanio will sing with two distinguished guests, notably Narisoa and Salomon, two big names in the Malagasy song of the same generation as Ny Voanio. The choice of these guests is not trivial. Solomon has also admitted to being a big fan of Ny Voanio, for a long time, just like Narisoa. They are both with the angels of being able to relive a musical adventure with the group.
The second part of this great musical moment will be dedicated to an evangelical session. It will be in the third part that the group will fully perform all the songs that have made the NY Voanio renown. “” We will take them back as they were sung, as in the original. Even the arrangements will be kept according to the authentic versions “, Underlines Sylvain Rakoto, the artistic director and first manager of the group.
The show will last about 3 hours. The public may thus have the opportunity to ask the group to specifically play certain titles.
Other projects in gestation. The celebration of these 60 years of stage was opened in Tamatave through a cabaret. The group will return to a larger scene, including that of the CJST Toamasina, this Saturday, August 2, before the big Tananarivian meeting of August 24.
The group no longer intends to remain in silence. Ny Voanio has 40 titles officially, but hundreds of songs that have not yet been out of work. “” In addition, we already prepare our children to succeed each other “, Underlines Sylvain Rakoto.
Ny Voanio has, moreover, a project for the outside soon but in the meantime, make way for these two celebration shows to come.
