about

Madagascar is located over 200 miles off the southeastern African coast and is home to a very diverse population that blends Indian, Southeast Asian and African cultures, as well as thousands of plant and animal species that only exist on the island — bottle-shaped baobabs, bat-eared aye ayes and ninety-nine varieties of lemur. “Tsy Akeo” is a groovy Malagasy dance song by the “King of Salegy,” Jaojoby. In music class we make hand motions to act like an “aye aye,” which is a lemur found in Madagascar that has the ears of a bat, the teeth of a rat and a long middle finger that it taps on tree trunks to locate insects, which it then eats by gnawing through the wood.

lyrics

Anao 'koa 'fa tsy akeo ô, ilay, fitiavana
Anao 'koa 'fa tsy akeo ô, ilay antsoiny fitiavana
We need love and to be loved and to love each other every day
O mila fitiavana, O mila fitia, O mila Fifankatiavana, fitia fitia fitia!
