Hip hop music is a musical genre which originated among African Americans in New York City in the 1970s. The style spread to Madagascar in about 1985, first in the form of breakdancing. The local rap scene (Rap Gasy) began, when popular performers included Americans from the radical Public Enemy to the pop MC Hammer, as well as early French hip hop stars like Benny B. The first native rappers used French or English. The earliest performers included the MCM Boys (now known as Da Hopp). The first mainstram success came in about 1998; popular modern performers include The Specialists and Oratan.
