Synopsis:

In Malagasy, 'Mahaleo' means free, independent... Mahaleo's voices and music have accompanied the people of Madagascar ever since the collapse of the colonial regime. Yet, even after 30 years of success, the group's seven musicians still keep their distance from the world of show-business, and remain deeply committed to helping their country's development; their professions range from surgeon to farmer, physician to sociologist and member of parliament. Accompanied by the group's rhythmic melodies, the film follows the singers through their daily lives, giving us a glimpse of the far-reaching social and economic problems of the Malagasy people. The combined talents of the Brazilian, Cesar Paes, and the Malagasy, Raymond Rajaonarivelo, have produced a work that is both ethereal and concrete, poetic and political.
