Projects


FIKIRA toured in Madagascar in September and October 2007 as a recipient of an Alumni Grant from Berklee College of Music. While in Madagascar, we conducted workshops for young Malagasy musicians and performed throughout the country as part of the Madajazzcar festival, receiving rave reviews.

As a Malagasy musician who lives outside the country, I feel that it is my duty to help the younger generation to understand more about the music industry, while also encouraging them to master traditional music and instruments as a solid foundation for their art.

FIKIRA recorded its first album in January 2006 with financial support from Berklee College of Music. The recording is currently being mixed and we hope to have the album ready for release soon. Please join our mailing list to be updated on the CD release.
 
Another project that I have been working on is the debut album of Chie Imaizumi, produced by Greg Gisbert. It is on Capri Records right now.
