Hiragasy - The song of Madagascar. A short documentary film on the traditional music and musicians of Madagascar, featuring among others the legendary Rakoto Frah.
Philibert Rabezoza (1923 – 29 September 2001), better known by the name Rakoto Frah, was a flautist and composer of traditional music of the central highlands of Madagascar. He surmounted the challenges posed by his underprivileged origins to become the most acclaimed 20th century performer of the sodina flute, one of the oldest traditional instruments on the island. Through frequent international concerts and music festival performances, he promoted the music of the highlands of Madagascar and became one of the most famous Malagasy artists, both within Madagascar and on the world music scene.
The footage was shot in the late nineties as research material for a feature length documentary that was never made... Around 7 years later the footage was resurrected as a testament and tribute to the music and the people that are portrayed and those that had by then passed away. (Greek commentary and subtitles, original languages: Malagasy, French, English - shot in Betacam SP)
