Video description

Part 8 of Aux Quatre coins du Monde avec Lowell Thomas / Going Places with Lowell Thomas. Interesting clip documenting the Famadihana funerary tradition in Madagascar, 1930s. Known as 'the turning of the bones', Malagasy people bring forth the bodies of their ancestors from the family crypts and rewrap them in fresh cloth, then dance with the corpses around the tomb to live music.
