May 28th: open the floor to the “kilalaky” – a must-see (and practice- but have your hip ready to move) dance from the south of Madagascar. Watch a sample video here.
May 29th 2009 a “vendredi zôli” (read TGIF) with one of the most famous pop-rock band in Madagascar named “Ambondrona”
May 31st 2009 will be the the last day and guess who’s going to be the Salegy’s performer for this evening?
This post has only showcased the “caravane musical” which ins only one part of Donia, but we hope to cover more about it on other posts.
