Together, the four musicians of the Sébastien Margéot Project put their musical talent to the service of a spirit of world-fusion that asserts itself as innovative in its mission to tie the present up with the traditions of the past. Together, they are a breath of life.

In southeastern Madagascar, pirogues are still built using artisanal, some might say rudimentary, techniques. It’s a work that can’t be started without first making an incantation to the ancestors, one that’s always accompanied by “toaka gasy,” the local rum.
