**Sonar Audio France has just completed recording and mixing the new Hoso-Doko album. Hoso-Doko means painting in Malgache. The album is a collaboration between the famous Madagascan guitarist, Rija, and Stephane Dassieu, a composer, guitarist & long standing member of the Bordeaux Jazz scene.

The pair created the album together over a 3 year period, mixing their personal styles with Jazz & electronic elements. The album features a multitude of international talents including Maeva Michel, Yannique Emonides, Beby, Nina and Lova on vocal duties, Frantz Flereau on percussion & many other artists from Jazz to traditional Madagascan.

Stephane: 'The music is performed in 6/8 and contains many traditional Madagascan rhythms. This album is a real fusion between our two cultures. We tried not to use the theme/improvisation/theme or AABA structures you tend to find in almost all jazz albums.. and instead tried to develop the theme and the improvisation at the same time. The theme is a part of the improvisation and vice versa.'
