Razia Said

Razia is a singer/songwriter/bandleader from Madagascar who has made her home in New York City. Razia Said’s nomadic life has taken her across Africa to France, Italy, Ibiza, Bali and New York City, but despite these wanderings, her heart and soul remains inexorably tethered to Madagascar, the land of her birth.
