Nostalgie est le troisième album de Noëlla Raoelison, après "Baobab" et "Une île". C'est un retour aux sources pour Noëlla qui chante ici dans sa langue Natale, le "sakalava", un dialecte percutant du sud ouest de Madagascar. Noëlla a la volonté de faire passer des messages forts dans ses compositions. Ces chansons, inspirées de son vécu et représentatives d’un monde en mouvement, nous parlent de déracinement, d’exil, d’écologie, de corruption, de cette nostalgie que l'on ressent, loin de son pays. En plus des influences malgaches et africaines proposées par Noëlla, ses compositions, confiées à l'arrangeur Franck Tchalian, s'enrichissent d'harmonies empreintées au jazz, se teintent de soul ou de blues ou fleurtent avec l'électro.
Nostalgia is Noëlla Raoelison's third album, after "Baobab" and "Une île". It's a homecoming for Noëlla who sings here in her native language, "sakalava", a hard-hitting dialect from the south west of Madagascar. Noëlla has the will to convey strong messages in her compositions. These songs, inspired by his experience and representative of a world in motion, speak to us of uprooting, exile, ecology, corruption, this nostalgia that one feels, far from one's country. In addition to the Malagasy and African influences proposed by Noëlla, her compositions, entrusted to the arranger Franck Tchalian, are enriched with harmonies imbued with jazz, are tinged with soul or blues or flower with electro.
Noëlla Raoelison is a golden-voice artist from Madagascar. She works at the famous "Studio Mars" in Antananarivo notably with Tsivery, Koike and Mikea (RFI 2008 award), before settling in France. She offers us her own compositions, sung in "sakalava", her native language. This "new world music" has its origins in traditional Malagasy sounds, but also in hip hop, electro or jazz.
