Mahaleo

Raymond Rajaonarivelo
2005 France 102 minutes French; Malagasy

Mahaleo is the most popular music group in Madagascar with thirty years of unbroken success. Moreover, these forerunners of the Malagasy blues also have jobs: doctor, surgeon, farmer, sociologist and parliamentary deputy… “Through Mahaleo and their music, the film takes a look at the situation in Madagascar at a critical moment of its history, after a political crisis that almost plunged the country into civil war.” (Marie-Clémence Paes)
