CHARLES - Mampiomehy anah anao

The title of this song moves me deeply. It is a traditional Malagasy piece from the Lake Alaotra region, representing the Sihanaka culture. The lyrics are drawn from what is known as a Joro, a ceremonial invocation or blessing often performed during important events. In this case, it refers to the ritual of honoring and invoking protection for the "Zagnary"(descendants or children) in the presence of outsiders or those who come from afar.
