masombahiny THANKS SO MUCH FOR THIS FOLLOWING INFORMATION, REALLY QUITE SHOCKING NOT EVEN
WIKIPEDIA HAS AN ENTRY FOR THIS FANTASTIC GROUP WHO SANG IN FRENCH, SPANISH, ITALIAN, AND ENGLISH, TRANSLATING THE HITS FOR THE REST OF THE WORLD:
LES SURFS, quatre frères et deux soeurs aînés d'une famille de douze enfants (les Rabaraona ) sont nés à Madagascar.
À la proclamation de la République Malgache, le 14 octobre 1958, le groupe, connu initialement sous le nom de " Rabaraona frères et soeurs" (Rabaraona 6 minanadahy), gagna le premier prix lors d'un concours de chanson amateur organisé par la station nationale de radio Radio Tananarive , en interprétant les deux grands succès du fameux groupe américain de l'époque, Les Platters, «Only you» et «The great pretender». Suite à ce succès, le groupe,sous le nom de Les Béryls, fit plusieurs tournées à travers Madagascar avec, entre autres, le grand chanteur malgache Henry Ratsimbazafy et les CCCGuitares. Ils enregistrèrent un premier super 45 tours avec la compagnie De Commarmond ( Discomad) à Tananarive: Petite fleur, Marin, Les trois cloches.
À la demande du gouvernement français, les six frères et soeurs furent choisis pour représenter Madagascar à l'inauguration de la 2è chaîne de télévision à Paris (Porte de Versailles) le 8 septembre 1963. À leur première apparition, ils ont immédiatement conquis le public français. Une maison de disque (Festival), avec l'aide de l'animateur-vedette "la voix d'or" de la radio malgache, Jean-Louis Rafidy qui les accompagnait pendant leur séjour à Paris, leur fit signer leur premier contrat européen et les prit en charge. Le groupe fut alors baptisé LES SURFS.
DEDICATED TO THE MEMORY OF MY BELOVED UNCLE MIGUEL VICENTE BRITTO WHO LIVED IN LOURENÇO MARQUES, NOW KNOWN AS MAPUTO
YOUR COLLEAGUES LIKED YOU, THEY CONSIDERED YOU A WORKAHOLIC, AND YOU WERE CARED FOR BEFORE YOU DIED, SO YOU DID NOT DIE ALONE
YOU WERE MY HERO WHEN I WAS A KID, I ADORED MY UNCLE DESPITE WHAT WAS SAID ABOUT YOU,
I THOUGH IT WAS ALL A BRAZEN LIE FUELED BY PLAIN OLD JEALOUSY, AS DID YOUR MUM
AS AN INNOCENT KID, I PERCEIVED YOU TO BE WHO YOU WERE IN TRUTH, I DON'T BELIEVE I EVER
KNEW ANOTHER CHILD WHO MALICIOUSLY DISTORTED SOMEBODY ELSE'S CHARACTER FOR ANY REASON
AND I WANT EVERY ADULT WHO TALKED ABOUT YOU TO KNOW THIS: SHAME ON YOU, WHO GAVE YOU THE RIGHT TO JUDGE? YOU DIDN'T EVEN GET ONE THING RIGHT, EVERY LAST THING I THOUGHT ABOUT MY
UNCLE, IT TURNS OUT WAS RIGHT ON THE MONEY
THE FACT THAT IN MY SIXTIES I FEEL PUTTING THINGS RIGHT IS IMPORTANT, EVEN IF MANY I KNOW OF
ARE ALREADY DEAD AND SAID THOSE HURTFUL THINGS SO LONG AGO, IS FOR THIS REASON: WHAT YOU SAY IN IGNORANCE OR JEALOUSY ABOUT SOMEONE ELSE ALWAYS AFFECTS BYSTANDERS AND WILL AFFECT THEM FOR AGES, AND JUST SHOWS YOU UP FOR THE ASSHOLE YOU ARE
IF THEY ARE LOYAL ENOUGH TO THINK YOUR OPINIONS ARE SILLY LIES, WHATEVER YOU SAY WILL NEVER MATTER, TELL ME HOW DID YOU PROFIT FROM DISPARAGING SOMEONE SO OFFHANDEDLY?
SO I THANK MY AUNT FOR MAKING THAT PHONECALL, WHERE THAT PERSON TOLD HER THE TRUTH ABOUT
HOW ALL THOSE PEOPLE THERE THOUGHT SO WELL OF HIM, AND CARED FOR HIM, HIGH ON MY LIST
OF SUSPICIONS WHY HE MOVED WAS BECAUSE AFRICA WAS A PLACE WHERE HE NO LONGER HAD IDIOTIC
JUDGEMENTS PRONOUNCED, SOMEWHERE WHERE PEOPLE WOULD LEAVE HIM ALONE
DON'T GET ME WRONG, I NEVER SAID HE WAS PERFECT, OR A SAINT
BUT IF YOU RELY ON SUBSTANCES THERE IS CERTAINLY A HURT UNDERNEATH YOU ARE TRYING TO KILL,
TRUST ME, IT IS COMMON KNOWLEDGE, BUT WE NEVER HAVE BELIEVED IN THINGS KNOWN AS COMMON KNOWLEDGE
I'M SO GRATEFUL, I'M SO AT PEACE WITH THIS SUBJECT NOW, THANK YOU AGAIN MY AUNT
I HOPE MY LOVE FOR THIS BAND IS A GOOD ENOUGH TRIBUTE TO MY UNCLE'S MEMORY, MAY HE REST IN PEACE, FINALLY
