Title : FAMADIHANA 2011

Caption : 28/08/2011 - Antsirabe, MADAGASCAR - On the evening of the second day, a party is organized near the house where the deceased Rasolofo father was born. The Famadihana is one of the only events in Malagasy life where close and distant relatives can all get together. At this time, cousins, nephews and nieces, great uncles, etc. who haven’t seen each other for years, perhaps never, can meet and strengthen their family bonds. PHOTO : RIJASOLO/RIVA PRESS
