Opening ball of the festival of the whales

The opening ball was animated by an artist engaged in the environmental protection, Mily Clement, and the king of the salegy rhythm, Jaojoby Eusèbe. The choice of Mily Clément is not fortuitous. The sixth edition of the festival of the whales indeed wishes to stress, this year, on the environmental protection. It is the first time that the festival holds an activity and an official launching in the capital. It is on the island of Sainte Marie, in the east of the country, indeed, that the festival strictly speaking proceeds from August 23rd to the 26th. It is on this part of the island that the whales are visible during this period of the year, being the subject of a festival called “Zagnaharibe”. The whales more particularly attract the tourists on this occasion
