Friday Music Video: Aomby

In keeping with the Peace Corps week theme of bringing Madagascar home to the USA, I share a video from the most beloved Malagasy band ever: Mahaleo. Here they are at L'Olympia in Paris singing one of my favorites, Aomby (I could not find a good version of another of my favorites, Antanambao (Eny Re), but I definitely recommend it)


Old and young Malagasy enjoy the folk-ish jams of Mahaleo. Need proof of their near-universal appeal in Madagascar? Check out this awesome video of some young musicians singing the same Mahaleo classic:
