 The French brought the accordion to the East African island of Madagascar in the 19th Century. Madagascar’s leading accordionist of recent times is Regis Gizavo. In 1998 he went on a tour of the USA, as reported in the Accordions Worldwide news for May 1st 1988. Gizavo became well known in France as a member of the Corsican group I Muvrini, and he has performed with musicians of different genres such as jazz, Arabic, African and pop. It would be good to know where he is playing nowadays.
