The 35th edition of Manal’Azy Vita Bacc reached its emotional peak as Olombelo Ricky and Johanne, the son of the late Ramy Franck, shared the stage in a moving tribute at Antsahamanitra this Saturday.
Before a massive crowd, Olombelo Ricky paid a poignant tribute to the recently deceased Ramy Franck by inviting his son, Johanne, to perform “Vavaka ho anao ry neny” together. This unprecedented duet became the highlight of the event, deeply touching the audience.
As the two artists sang, portraits and images of Ramy Franck were projected on the giant screen. The audience stood in unison to sing along, turning the tribute into a moment of collective communion. The thunderous applause that followed reflected the public’s deep affection for the late artist and respect for his musical legacy.
The event also featured other notable performances, including Edgard Ravahatra and Nary from the second generation of Ny Railovy, who added to the richness of the program.
Created 35 years ago by Olombelo Ricky to celebrate the end of baccalaureate exams, Manal’Azy Vita Bacc has become an essential tradition for new graduates, symbolizing the transition from high school life to a new chapter while showcasing the richness of Malagasy music.
