The major event of this quarter Kazar is in many ways the icon, if the word is appropriate, of Malagasy underground thrash metal, which will perform on September 27 at Pavé Antaninarenina starting at 3 p.m. Title of the live: "Athanor". Drawn from medieval Arab tradition, this term designates a furnace designed to maintain constant, uniform heat over a long duration. It is also attributed to the "science" of alchemy. More simply, a technique for transmuting metal or creating the philosopher's stone. On stage, to deliver this musical "science", there will be Milon, one of the best Malagasy guitarists across all generations, Lalah, the emblematic drummer, and bassist Nix, the youngest member of the group. Expect fast rhythms, heavy riffs and high-flying technicality. Obviously, "Apokalipsy", the national anthem of Malagasy rock, will be eagerly awaited. You have to go back to the 1980s, with "Arovy ny ala sao jandova dezaka". A concert dedicated to environmental protection, a world first for this type of event. The band shared the stage with French group Little Bob Story. A page to mark in the book of Malagasy music. Since this year, Kazar has inscribed its name in the national musical heritage. This is all the background that will be held on the stage of Pavé Antaninarenina. A concert awaited by purists as much as by simple rock/metal fans and enthusiasts.
