For half a century, Njila has built a musical universe open to all styles and now passes this legacy to a new generation of artists. Njila and Johane alongside event organizers. Transmit without freezing, share without confining. This is the vision Njila continues to defend after fifty years of career. The singer will be one of the central figures of the third edition of "Kanto Miampita," the largest cabaret in Tanà, supported by Airtel Money, which will take place on July 31 at CCI Ivato. Organized by Pho Resto, the event will bring together Njila, Mahery, Elsie and Johane around an original concept: artists from the new generation will perform the repertoire of an elder... in his presence. For Njila, this meeting goes far beyond a tribute. "I accepted this invitation with pleasure and I thank the organizers. The objective of this show is to transmit art from one generation to the next so it can be discovered by as many people as possible," he explains. The artist continues his creative work. "I continue to compose new songs. This show is a way to pass on what I have built to the second generation," he confides. He also wants to clarify that "Kanto Miampita is not a return to songs of the past, but the continuation of an art that remains very much alive." The choice of performers was not left to chance. Johane was selected for his reputation, his long-standing attachment to Njila's songs and for a voice that the latter judges perfectly compatible with his own. Elsie, met in Paris, established herself through the power of her voice, while Mahery, his junior, already regularly shares the stage with him. Poopy was also among the artists considered, but could not participate, being already committed to another event. The young singers will also discover unreleased works, as nearly eighty new songs await to be unveiled. Experience. For Johane, this collaboration is an exceptional experience. "It is a great honor to work with Njila. I grew up with his music, my parents constantly sang his songs. It is a dream come true and a completely new experience for me." Njila's career began at age 15. In Ambatoroka, he took the stage for the first time at the time of his father's death. Close to society, passionate about rugby and football, he also spent his evenings singing with residents of his neighborhood. An apprentice classical guitarist under Étienne Ramboatiana, nicknamed Bouboul, he was noticed by Norbert Ratsirahonana, president of the fokontany, who encouraged him to take the stage. Despite the importance placed on education in his family, he ultimately chose to follow his vocation and love for music. In 1978, a sermon heard on the street at the Arcades d'Analakely inspired him to write the song "Ilazao," before it entered the hymns of the Protestant Church FJKM (Fiangonan'i Jesoa Kristy eto Madagasikara). His artistic universe then developed around classical music, values of solidarity and multiple influences. He later participated in creating a group with Poopy and Voahangy, before collaborating with several artists, including Anyah, Melky and Lilie. Cassie Ramiandrasoa
