The fourth generation of Ny Railovy captivated a large audience at the anniversary concert "Ny Railovy 70 2.0", presented to a sold-out crowd yesterday at CCI Ivato. The new generation of Ny Railovy thrilled a packed CCI Ivato amphitheatre. Generations united around a shared musical heritage. For its anniversary concert "Ny Railovy 70 2.0", the new generation of Ny Railovy filled the CCI Ivato amphitheatre and delivered nearly three and a half hours of performance. The audience, composed notably of aunts, uncles and grandparents, sang along to the songs in chorus and accompanied the artists in a warm atmosphere. On stage, the new generation revisited the group's repertoire with a touch of modernity, without losing the spirit that defines its identity. The sound quality, lighting effects, projections on side screens and images displayed on the central screen accompanied a renewed scenography. The group's members, all dressed in red suits, also impressed with their particularly refined appearance. "You just have to listen to see that the level is truly up to par," says a long-time fan. The performance featured several titles, including "Mbola misy izay tavela" in the first part, then "Manirery" and "Aza dia miniana". The title "Romy" notably brought together the eight singers, six men and two women, accompanied by several musicians. Richness. This fourth generation brings together Hery Randriamahatana, Voahangy Rajaofetra, Nary Andriamahatana, Rinah, Toaiky Andriamahatana, Anthony Andriamahatana, Francky Rakotoniaina and Odon Ratsinjomanana, with Dr Souleman as presenter. Rinah, known within the M. Razafy group, and Voahangy Rajaofetra, who has accompanied Ny Railovy since the 1990s, strengthen the female presence. Most members descend from the founder's family, while Odon Ratsinjomanana brings his bass experience. Created in 1948 to promote its compositions on Malagasy radio, Ny Railovy recorded its first pieces before releasing its first record in 1956 and first album in 1957. The group then multiplied performances, musical comedies and tours. After a period of interruption, Biry relaunched the group in 1988 with the second generation, notably composed of Hery and Nary Andriamahatana. The concert pays tribute to the founders, notably Jérôme Randria and Biry, through songs that marked the group's history, such as "Raha Poety" and "Manga ny fitia". The six singers and two female singers also perpetuate the richness of Ny Railovy's vocal harmonies. Toaiky Andriamahatana, grandson of Pata, notably takes on his grandfather's famous high voice, while Hery, Nary and Toaiky share the different vocal parts. Faithful to tradition, the performance blended music, literature, kabary and some choreography, without outside guests. The old painted sets gave way to more modern scenography, made of video projections, lighting effects and technological touches, while preserving the spirit of Ny Railovy.
