Raolona (The Human)
Da Raoul , One of the 4 composers of the group Mahaleo, Raosolosolofo Razafindranoa , passed away on   september 2010, at the age of 59  in Tamatave , Madagascar .
He was the mentor of the group  ....and the other 6 members of the band used to call him "the dinosaur" . He studied medi school n Roumania and came back to Madagascar with a acurate conscience of the value of  the land and the small farmers culture .  He was the doctor of the poor in the port of Tamatave but he could also make music instruments with Bike breaks .
He left us, but his songs open a lot of  new way to think about our realities in Madagascar, songs both poetic and pragmatic that should definitely be meditated .


Our Planet

If we don’t take care,

our world will disappear

Our countryside laid bare

If no one hesitates

when forests are laid waste

Then wise men

mimic madness

If we don’t realise

that no one can survive

on a planet that is barren

that there will be no longer

a place to grow our rice

then famine will arrive
