A former dancer turned sonic alchemist, Malagasy artist Claudio Rabe transcends genres. Following his breakthrough at the 2024 Inouïs du Printemps de Bourges and Sakifo, his rise has only accelerated: now a nominee for the prestigious 2026 Prix Découvertes RFI, he has established himself as a vital figure on the contemporary scene.

His signature sound, World Rock, fuses the raw energy of rock with the traditional Malagasy trance of Tsapiky and afro-psychedelic undertones. Navigating between the sensuality of Prince and the radical edge of Suicide, his music dialogues with the grooves of Fela Kuti to deliver a subversive, sun-drenched experience.

Building on the success of his Australian tour and a standout performance at the ACCES market in South Africa, Claudio Rabe is currently preparing the release of his album RAVENR under the Yama-Nui label. Propelled by international momentum, he is set to ignite European stages in the summer of 2026 before a highly anticipated return to Australia in 2027.

On stage, leather and cowboy boots define the aesthetic of a "psychedelic mass"—a total immersion between shadow and light where the audience surrenders to collective liberation.

The music doesn't just play; it moves. It doesn't just speak; it resonates. The audience doesn't just watch; they dive in heart and soul.
