Jean Emilien
Born in the Southern plains of Madagascar, Jean-Emilien was introduced to music by his grandfather. After some rough beginnings, including the disapproval of his father of his "futile" career plans, he was eventually able to delve into the universe of his home island sounds. Listeners are fortunate to hear the harmonious mix of his "kabosse," the traditional guitar of Madagascar," and the hymnal chants of his harmonica.

Jean Emilien experiments with his personalized kabosy, the accordion, and footbeat to create an impressive style that led him to win several awards and to be compared to Robert Johnson, the father of Blues. His inventive style to the traditonal sounds of Madagascar and Reunion Island (he even added a fifth bass string to his instrument) results in melodic and rhythmic hymns.
