Before gaining power and ousting the president back in 2009, Madagascar’s former president Rajoelina (pictured left) set up his own radio station, Radio Viva, where he was a DJ. It’s doubtful he’ll be returning to his music days anytime soon. Defining DJing isn’t actually particularly easy. There’s of course, the technical skills required to perform at a party. On top of that, DJs have to do a lot more than just play music – they have to build up a following and hustle for gigs, sometimes acting as promoters or label managers at the same time.
