This post showcases seven examples of music from the Malagasy group Temimana. "Malagasy music" means music from the nation of Madagascar, an island country in the Indian Ocean, off the southeastern coast of Africa.
I've not been able to find any information in English or in French* about the group Tenimana, besides a comment that they are from Madagascar. With the exception of the song entitled "Jeso" which is found below, I don't even know if these songs are religious or non-religious. I'd love to add information about this group to this post.
*Since I don't understand French I would have to use Google translate to change it to English, so that translation might not be correct.

Eleven Videos Of Malagasy [Madagascar] Folk Dances
Edited by Azizi Powell
This post showcases eleven videos of Malagasy [Madagascar] folk dances. Information about Malagasy and information about traditional Malagasy dances is also included in this post.

INFORMATION ABOUT MADAGASCAR
From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Madagascar:
"Madagascar, officially the Republic of Madagascar (Malagasy: Repoblikan'i Madagasikara [republiˈkʲan madaɡasˈkʲarə̥]; French: République de Madagascar) and previously known as the Malagasy Republic, is an island country in the Indian Ocean, off the southeastern coast of Africa. The nation comprises the island of Madagascar (the fourth-largest island in the world), as well as numerous smaller peripheral islands...

INFORMATION ABOUT TRADITIONAL DANCES Of MADAGASGAR
From http://www.taiaf.de/html/traditionaldances.html "Rakotomalala, Mireille (Tr. by Liz Burns).1997. The traditional dances of Madagascar. In: Dagan, Esther A. (Hrsg).1997. The spirit’s dance in Africa. Montreal: Galerie Amrad African Arts Publication. S. 245-249.
Abstract by Christine Singer
..."Madagasy dance consists of a large variety of forms of which each is embedded in different social contexts such as weddings, exhumations, inaugurations, religious ceremonies and so forth.
Consequently, the multiplicity of styles and genres of dance is enormous: Tromba or Salamanga (religious-magical dances), Fampithana (dances that assure social relationships), Joros (sacrifice dances) to only state a few. An exclusive form is the operatic theatre Hira-gasy, as it combines several forms of artistic expression, including dance. Generally speaking, dance is the central feature of many social Malagasy occasions...
Furthermore, collective dances also serve to transmit traditional knowledge that is highly protected by families and that is therefore transmitted from generation to generation only. The traditional dance performance consists of a competition between two groups. At this point, the basic motivation of the contest is to criticise administrational issues through metaphorical language and through rhythm. Additionally, gestures and choreography serve to create a correspondence between dancers and onlookers. The formation of a circle is the most common arrangement of the Malagasy dances (Latsitanana, Dihy Soroka, Salegy etc). Furthermore, among some peoples, like the Betsileo and the Sakalava, dances are separated according to gender and age, whereas in other regions such separation does not occur.
What is essential, secret messages and emotional expressions are also presented by a variety of body movements. These play a distinctive role in Malagasy dances and are defined by the arrangement of hands, feet and a variety of body poses. Movements may be fast or slow depending on the music, but their character is rather subtle than energetic. Besides, dances like the Salegy, the Kahhoitry and the Jabana aim to imitate waves and therefore can be regarded as manifestation of a people’s close relationship to their natural environment. In addition to this, in the Latsitanana and Tsinjaka, mythical birds are imitated by delicate movement of fingers and hands. In other dances more emphasis is put on foot patterns and small jumps (Kidodo) or on a precise movement of the shoulders (Sy Dihy Soroka)...
All in all, the traditional dances of Madagascar do not only serve to manifest social identity, but also play an important role in transmitting historical, secret knowledge from generation to generation."

Ten Examples Of Madagascar Traditional Music & Dance
Edited by Azizi Powell
This post presents ten examples of traditional music from Madagascar. General information about Madagascar is also included in this post.

Editor's Note:
I am very unfamiliar with Malagasy music. Please accept my apology if these examples aren't considered traditional Malagasy music or dance. Corrections & identification of those examples correct music or dance genre would be appreciated.
INFORMATION ABOUT MADAGASCAR
From http://www.kidcyber.com.au/topics/afrimadagas.htm
" Madagascar is an island to the east of the southern part of Africa.
It is the world's fourth largest island, with 4,828 km of coastline...
Madagascar was part of the African continent but broke off and drifted to where it is now about two million years ago. This means that the plants and animals of Madagascar are unique, and different from those of Africa...
Madagascar was governed by France from 1895, but became a republic in 1958, calling itself the Malagasy Republic. It remained under French guidance until 1960, when it became a fully independent country. In 1975, the country re-named itself the Democratic Republic of Madagascar. In 1993 it became the Republic of Madagascar."

INFORMATION ABOUT MADAGASCAR
From http://www.kidcyber.com.au/topics/afrimadagas.htm
" Madagascar is an island to the east of the southern part of Africa.
It is the world's fourth largest island, with 4,828 km of coastline...
Madagascar was part of the African continent but broke off and drifted to where it is now about two million years ago. This means that the plants and animals of Madagascar are unique, and different from those of Africa...
Madagascar was governed by France from 1895, but became a republic in 1958, calling itself the Malagasy Republic. It remained under French guidance until 1960, when it became a fully independent country. In 1975, the country re-named itself the Democratic Republic of Madagascar. In 1993 it became the Republic of Madagascar."
