The music of Madagascar

I'm really getting into the music of Madagascar. As l am brushing up on my French, learning some Malagasy and getting into shape for my trip, I thought I might also check out the rhythms and traditions of Malagasy music... as I have always loved African music. There are some great compilations around that I will share with you in later posts but for now here's one of my favourite tracks... Enjoy!

Lemur paintings in progress

Thought you'd like to see my first efforts at painting lemurs... these are unfinished works... and I will put up some good pics of them when they are all finished. 

I'm trying to raise a minimum donation to help fund Azafady projects... so please give anything you can through my page:http://www.bmycharity.com/lloydloveslemurs

Anyone giving a donation will get a print of one of my lemur paintings and I'll be organising an exhibition and sale of the paintings in March.

If you are interested... this is the charity I'll be working with...
