Probably the most popular act in the country, the Rossy Band combine the gentle traditions of the highlands, the rambunctious triplet rhythms of salegy, and later rock, reggae and South African pop styles. By the mid-\'80s, Rossy owned instruments for his band, a sound system, and a bus which he still uses to travel all over Madagascar playing shows for a loyal national audience. In 1993, Rossy recorded his signature international release, One Eye on the Future, One Eye on the Past.

It\'s now been years since we\'ve heard any new music from Rossy. But Afropop is headed to Madagascar in April 2001. Watch this space for an update!">
