A polymorphous artist. This unique fusion creates a musical style that blends rock, electro, rap and Malagasy traditions, delivering energetic, spellbinding live performances.

CLAUDIO RABE (FRA/MAD)

Claudio Rabe is a genre-defying sonic force, originally from Madagascar and now based between France and Réunion Island. His electrifying sound fuses traditional Malagasy rhythms with rock, funk, and electronic elements—delivering high-energy live performances that are both immersive and deeply rooted in culture.

Claudio surrounds himself with four talented Malagasy musicians and together they create an original musical style combining salegy groove, dancehall, rock guitar riffs and electro sounds.

Claudio’s explosive Australian debut at Woodford Folk Festival 24/25 marked a major turning point, quickly followed by a sold-out headline show at It’s Still a Secret in Brisbane. His latest EP, Mosary, is a powerful showcase of his ability to transform ancestral influences into modern, dancefloor-ready anthems.

Now signed to Yama-Nui Records, Claudio returns to Australia in 2025 for a national tour with stops at BIGSOUND, Festival of the Winds, and a run of high-impact shows along the east coast. His live sets are hypnotic and rhythm-forward—where traditional percussion collides with modern grooves in a celebration of movement, identity, and connection.
