D’Gary, Monika Njava, Joël Rabesolo
A trio of musical stars from Madagascar. Honored at home and acclaimed abroad.
Monika’s album Haizina (Darkness) marks her return as a solo artist.
As uncompromising as ever, she sings about the poverty, injustice and corruption suffered by her people. Supporting her powerful, emotional voice are the rhythms of southern Madagascar flavored by the rock and soul she grew up with.
