A new reference book brings together traditional oral forms of the Betsimisaraka people to ensure their transmission and foster both scientific and educational interest. Lahabôlaña Betsimisaraka, published in June 2025 during the "Tsena be ny boky" event at the National Library in Anosy, condenses ten years of field collection centered on a rich yet underexplored oral tradition. Its author, Élisé Romuald, combines artistic experience with academic rigor to produce a unique cultural preservation tool.
