Contact "The music of Madagascar combines the spirituality of Oriental music, the rhythms of African music, and the intellectual side of European music." - Etienne Ramboatiana (aka Bouboul) What is Vakoka? "Introducing Vakoka" ("Tradition" in Malagasy) is a new release on World Music Network that brings together thirteen of Madagascar's most talented musicians to explore their diverse traditions and push the boundaries of Malagasy music. Over a six-week period in early 2003 this 'all-star' cast from around the country worked together to create a record that showcases the island's incredibly diverse musical and cultural heritage. The resulting songs carry the joy and emotion of a remarkable group as they explore each other's musical traditions, blending the old and new in a way rarely heard - on this island or any other. The project was produced by a Canadian, Sean Whittaker with artistic direction by Hanitra Rasoanaivo, leader of Madagascar's most famous musical export Tarika , and Seta Ramaroson, renowned Malagasy woodwind player. The project started in early April 2003 with three weeks of rehearsals at the

Love African music? Get our free e-Newsletter! Home Radio Explore Archives ... Back to Country Page Madagascar The Indian Ocean island of Madagascar separated from mainland Africa some 130-million years ago. Since then, its geography, biology, culture and history have evolved along unique lines. The island's famed lemurs and other fauna and flora found nowhere else in the world, are explained by its physical isolation. But the unusual cultural mix that underlies Madagascar's sensational palette of musical styles reflects the brave souls who came to live in this vast, wild, beautiful land. Indonesians, Africans, Arabs, Persians, and ultimately Europeans and Asians have all left their marks. Madagascar's cultural diversity makes for fascinating music, dance and other art forms, but complicated politics. Prior to the colonial period, the ethnic Merina had established an expansionist regime based in the island's central highlands. The Merina succeeded in rebuffing English colonial exploits, but in 1895, the French fought their way to power and created a colony that would last until Malagasy independence in 1960. Government since then has been unstable, marked by riots, coups, rigged elections, one impeachment, and for the people, an ever worsening economic situation.

Studies prove people of Madagascar came from Borneo and Africa mongabay.com July 8, 2005 Studies released earlier this year found the people of Madagascar have origins in Borneo and East Africa. Half of the genetic lineages of human inhabitants of Madagascar come from 4500 miles away in Borneo, while the other half derive from East Africa, according to a study published in May by a UK team. The island of Madagascar, the largest in the Indian Ocean, lies some 250 miles (400 km) from Africa and 4000 miles (6400 km) from Indonesia. Its isolation means that most of its mammals, half of its birds, and most of its plants exist nowhere else on earth. The new findings, published in the American Journal of Human Genetics, show that the human inhabitants of Madagascar are similarly unique - amazingly, half of their genetic lineages derive from settlers from the region of Borneo, with the other half from East Africa. Archaeological evidence suggests that this settlement was as recent as 1500 years ago - about the time the Saxons invaded Britain. "The origins of the language spoken in Madagascar, Malagasy, suggested Indonesian connections, because its closest relative is the Maanyan language, spoken in southern Borneo," said Dr Matthew Hurles, of the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute. "For the first time, we have been able to assign every genetic lineage in the Malagasy population to a likely geographic origin with a high degree of confidence."

Arlette Kouwenhoven and Toussaint Raharison Madagascar, the Red Island After Greenland, New Guinea and Borneo, Madagascar is the fourth largest island of the world. The 587,041 km2 of land were once covered with green rainforest, but the slash- and-burn techniques of the Malagasy farmers, later aggravated by commercial exploitation of the rainforest has led to heavy erosion, which has exposed the laterite soil all over the island. Because of this Madagascar is now called the "Red Island". The remaining rainforest is to be found in the northern part of the island and on the east coast. The destruction of the endemic vegetation of Madagascar has left behind its red wounds especially in the south, where the environment can best be described as a semi-desert. The third type of vegetation on the island, that will remind the visitor a lot of Asia, is seen on the central highlands, which is the heart of the rice-production of the island. By Sandra Evers Cultural wealth The migrants who settled in different parts of Madagascar developed their own, social economic, and cultural systems, in which traces of the Asian and African past are still to be found. Today Madagascar has 18 official ethnic groups, but whether the use of the word ethnic is correct in the Malagasy context or whether we should speak rather of 18 different population groups are other burning points of discussion. I do not really want to walk a tightrope here by joining in this discussion and, as I can conclude from her book, Kouwenhoven has not chosen this path either. In her "the Red Island" she takes the 18 officially acknowledged ethnic groups as reference points in the descriptions of the various parts of the island.

Interviews var articleheadline = "The Complete Guide To: Madagascar" Home Travel Africa Southern The Complete Guide To: Madagascar On Friday, the animated film Madagascar opens nationwide - and its depiction of the exotic Indian Ocean island is sure to inspire travellers. But how true to the island is the movie? Hilary Bradt watches a preview - and gives her assessment Published: 09 July 2005 HAVE THE FILM-MAKERS GOT IT RIGHT? They haven't done badly. My inner child loved the film, but my inner expert was more critical. No one involved in the film, as the production notes cheerfully report, has actually been to Madagascar. But they have done their research pretty well. While the on-screen jungle may have been too beautiful to be true, Alex the lion takes refuge from his inner predator in the spiky limestone tsingy that is one of Madagascar's specialities and seen in national parks such as Ankarana and Bemaraha. The lemurs were all recognisable species, even though King Julien should be Queen Julienne, and the oh-so-cute mouse lemur, Mort, who we first meet as the protein in a tossed salad being prepared by the villainous "fossas", is as appealing in real life. The fossa is indeed the lemur's main predator, so this part is accurate. The film also shows a recognisable Parson's chameleon and a leaf-tailed gecko, both unique to Madagascar.
