THE

Their history is intertwined with the history of Madagascar , certainly arrived from Arabia or Egypt, they brought with them paper and writing which allowed the intellectual evolution of the whole country. They keep their panandro (sorcerers) their very strong traditions, their kings who are elected by the great families and who ensure the sustainability of the traditional law recognized by the local legal authorities. Their sacred language, "Sorbian", tinged with ancient Arabic, is transmitted from sorcerer to sorcerer who use it to practice divination and design the protective charms which occupy a large place despite the preponderant presence of the Christian religion on the Island. The foundation stones of the Antaimoro nation are located on our farm, this is where the elders meet when they need to gather, and it is a great honor for me to participate in the traditions.
