Afropop's ADVENTURE IN MADAGASCAR, Fourth Dispatch
Our Afropop Adventure in Madagascar continues to be
very dense. This dispatch is mostly to connect you to
cool images of things we've seen along the way.
Since last writing, highlights include: meeting
tsapika guitar wiz Jean Noel in Tulear and seeing him
play; the acoustic tsapika group in the fishing
village of Ifady shaking their bums and then singing a
slower song asking Jesus for forgiveness for all that
fun; Easter Sunday on a peaceful deserted island for
snorkeling and shell collecting; ring tailed lemurs
dropping on the aluminum roofs of our bunglows
at 6 in the morning in Berenty Wildlife Preserve;
Antandroy bird like dancing and accordeon in Berenty;
dancing with the Rasta youth to electric Antandroy and
Antonosy bands at the Blue Moon Club in beautiful Fort
Dauphin on the SE coast.
Too much to write now. Will fill in the details next
week. Meanwhile, enjoy the digital pictures sent to
you all the way from an Internet cafe in Tana.
