Modeste Hugues
“Hugues is a pleasingly smoky-toned singer and a fine guitarist, able to play rhythm and lead all at once. He’s so effective in this musical sleight of hand that audience members scan the stage in search of a (non-existant) second guitar player.”
The Independent
Modeste talking about Madagascar and his music on BBC Radio Scotland. He also reads a poem by Malagasy poet Flavien Renaivo.
Modeste’s guitar workshop at Musicport 2012
“These days we are blessed by some truly world class artists living in our midst and we really ought to celebrate them more. A case in point is Madagascar’s Modeste Hugues.”
fROOTS
“With an almost endless variety of rhythms, tempos and styles, and with a growing UK-based population of talented Malagasy musicians such as Modeste, there’s no reason why the unique and distinctive style of the Indian Ocean’s jewel shouldn’t break a few barriers here, too.”
