Back in September, our very kind Rising Voices group editor Rezwan asked each group to participate the first Blog Carnival on ” your favourite festivity ” where :
How do we form our impressions of other countries when we have never visited them and have never met any of their citizens? The answer for most of us is still television – the images we see on the nightly news and in Hollywood’s portrayals.
With all the activities, events and of course studies/work that kept Foko bloggers busy, we sadly couldn’t meet the deadlines. Moonlight and Patrick (and soon more bloggers) are now putting a lot of passion to join this missed opportunity to share about Madagascar traditions :
My Favourite Festivity ” FAMADIHANA” from Moonlight
I can say that I was very lucky to be able to have the chance to attend the Famadihana many times in my life. I’d like to share my personal experience. I went to my countryside in Ambatolampy; more precisley near Tsiafajavona Ankaratra. I was really excited about it.
My Favorite Festivity the “TAMBIRÔ” from Patrick
“Tamborô”? literally means broth hiring. If we are going to talk about “tambirô”, it is our very very big event work party, in wich lots people can be together to mix up their strengths in working together for one thing.
more posts to come
Thanks for pointing these out. Now I know when to visit where in Madagascar.
Very interesting festivals.
