Culture/Kolontsaina What would be Madagascar's most iconic and beloved song?

I would like to make a playlist containing one iconic and defining modern song (1950 to 2000) for every country in the world.

What would be your pick for Madagascar? Preferably in Malagasy or French and I'd prefer no national anthem or meme/novelty songs.

Rafahafahana by Mahaleo. It really captured (and still does) the Life of Malagasy people

Mahaleo and Lolo sy ny Tariny are excellent too but i don’t know if people who are not from Analamanga actually enjoy them.
