This album highlights a family troupe from the Madagascar highlands. Recorded in their village Antsangy, between poultry yard and ricefields, its lively songs tell the everyday life of farmers in the Isandra Valley. An earnest portrait of a community rooted in its land and open to the world.
About the project
Madagascar - France
"Words Have Wings"
LES PAROLES ONT DES AILES
Isorana (Madagascar) & Saint-Denis (France)
A cross-border music project, the album Les Paroles Ont Des Ailes is the result of an unusual encounter : villagers from the ricefields of Madagascar and urbanites from the social projects of Saint-Denis. For five years, we have been transporting their music, songs and poetry back and forth, and ended up with this colorful, intercultural mix, full of joy and hope. As the malagasy proverb says : "words are like eggs : as soon as they hatch, they have wings". Let them fly !
