HAJAmadagascar was visiting us in Montreal at the Festival des Francofolies in August 2009.“HAJAMADAGASCAR & THE GROOVY PEOPLE” THE POWER OF TRANCE MUSIC Madagascar. When HAJAmadagascar and his band turn up the heat, even the coolest audience melts after just a short time. The band plays music based on traditional Malagasy rhythms and dances spiced with Afro and afro-diaspora grooves.
