Beko
Summary
Southern Malagasy vocal repertoire, often multipart and associated with sahiry/mpibeko and public/funerary/social address, including modern adaptations. [1] [2] [3]
Contemporary and trending
Religious, economic and social change affects Beko’s occasions and presentation. University research and a 2024 study describe a continuing southern vocal art, including forms beyond a purely funerary label. [1] [2]
History
The repertoire belongs to Antandroy verbal and social histories. Public and staged adaptation should be distinguished from home ceremonial contexts, without treating either as the sole authentic version. [1]
Musical characteristics
Multipart vocal expression and socially addressed text characterize the art of sahiry/mpibeko. The relationship between verbal meaning, singers and occasion matters alongside its a cappella sound. [2] [3]
Geography and communities
Androy/Antandroy communities and documented adjacent southern networks. Toliara, migrant communities and public/stage adaptations distinct from home ceremonial contexts. [1] [2] [3]
Artists
Sahiry and mpibeko are the relevant vocal practitioners. Their community knowledge and individual expression explain the repertoire more accurately than an export-only image of anonymous traditional singers. [2]

Androy/Antandroy communities and documented adjacent southern networks. Toliara, migrant communities and public/stage adaptations distinct from home ceremonial contexts. Fields distinguish the community heartland from specifically documented wider use; political borders and population totals do not determine intensity.
The fields express editorial judgments about relative musical affinity and reach, not measured audience shares. Radius is the zero edge of a linear fade; same-genre overlaps combine by maximum.
