Jean Emilien

Along with his dynamic vocals, harmonica, and amplified kabosy (a little guitar-like instrument), Jean Emilien continues to be in comparison to Bob Dylan. Emilien, who’s a Betsileo, certainly began his carrying out traditional western music but ultimately experienced that he was dropping touch with indigenous culture. Instead of descending into hidebound traditionalism, Emilien began to adjust the country’s traditional vako-drazana tunes, setting these to today’s dance defeat. He offers since documented for the French Mlodie label.
