The surroundings of Anosiala Andakana will resonate with a very musical festive atmosphere for the music festival and the festival of independence to come.
A new concept of festival will take place at the Ilo Hotel estate from June 21 until June 26, the day of the Independence Festival.
This is the first edition of the Fanilo Festival. The choice of the name of the festival is not trivial. Fanilo meaning “torch”, the event aims to highlight cultural pride and the awakening of the talents of the Malagasy in a spirit of sharing and transmission. It is also a “fan of ilo” word game, which wishes to mark the attachment to the festival site, the ilo hotel, which is by the way, is a small paradise, at the foot of green rice fields. It is an area of 2 hectares located 25 km from the capital, with a water park, rooms and bungalows, wellness and nature spaces conducive to an immersive festival, both festive and secure.
A rich and diverse programming.
On the poster for the festival, renowned artists but also young talents who have nothing to envy their elders, since they excel as well in their own register.
Two major scenes will therefore be erected, allowing to accommodate at least 2 different artists each day of the festival. On the day of the Music Festival, on June 21, Samoela, the specialist in text songs, and the “Kaiamba Tena Izy” will open the ball for unreleased lives in an idyllic setting. The next day, it will be Ljo’s turn and the sirens From Ry Kiala Vazo to heat the atmosphere on the two scenes.
The latter will come back on stage the next day again, while Dj Daddy will take care of festival -goers dance through a crazy set. In addition, the activities and entertainment of Wednesday, June 23 and Thursday, June 24 will be dedicated to youth, through different competitions of slam, dance and songs.
On the eve of the Independence Festival, on June 25, the traditional session of lanterns or “Arendrina” will be quite special as part of this festival since it will be done with artists, including Jaojoby, the King of Salegy, Steph Rambi the singer Pop Soul, and the romantic Njara Marcel, who will each put their grain of salt.
On June 26, the day of the Independence Festival, Rajery will set the tone of the party in a much more traditional atmosphere. The scene will also be open to the public that day. Funds will be collected for local associations that take care of vulnerable people.
Cultural immersion.
The festival-goers will in any case risk being bored during the 6 days of the festival, between shows, cultural parades, talk-shows, young talent competition and a free scene, without forgetting the sharing workshops that will allow fans to meet and exchange with artists, especially since the proposed programming is intergenerational.
An artistic and cultural village with cultural pavilion, meetings and exhibitions will allow the public to familiarize themselves with the history of traditional instruments, regional musical influences and cultural ties between the islands of the Indian Ocean.
Festival -goers will also be able to highlight the artist in them on the Fresco of the Islands, an evolutionary collective work carried out every day by visitors, children and artists around the themes of freedom, music and island unity.
The ticket office for the event is already available on ticketplace.io and the various dedicated points of sale.
