Back to the Source: Healing Sounds of Madagascar
Mikahely hails from the tropical island of Madagascar and has been making music since he was a child. A self-taught musician, he became well known for his work as part of the duo, Mika sy Davis, touring across the island and Europe. Since relocating to the U.S. in 2017, he has focused on bringing his cultural roots to wider audiences, playing traditional stringed instruments such as the valiha and marovany, as well as guitar. His original music is soothing and healing, inspired by Malagasy lullabies and traditional ceremonial rhythms.
