Every year, the enchanting island of Nosy Be, in the northwest of Madagascar, becomes the stage for a major musical and cultural event: the Somarôho Festival. Created by the famous Malagasy artist Wawa, this festival aims to celebrate the richness of Malagasy culture through music, dance, and the gathering of people. The word "Somarôho," which means "together, in harmony", perfectly captures the spirit of the event.

For several days, Nosy Be pulses to the energetic rhythm of salegy, the traditional music of northern Madagascar, as well as to other sounds from around the world. Dozens of local and international artists take the stage at Ambodivoanio Stadium, performing for an enthusiastic crowd from across the island and beyond. But the festival is not just about music — it also features parades, sports competitions, youth activities, artisan markets, and moments of intergenerational sharing.

Somarôho is more than just a festival — it's a human, cultural, and tourism experience. It invites visitors to discover the warmth of Malagasy hospitality, the richness of its traditions, and the natural beauty of Nosy Be. In a festive and inclusive atmosphere, the event strengthens the country’s cultural identity while supporting local development. Each edition leaves behind unforgettable memories and a clear message: culture is a powerful bond that unites people across all borders.
