![]() ![]() ![]() I will be back for dinner again this week, but I’ll skip the pricey Pina Coloda this time lol. Long review, I know, but safety and sanitation are at the top of everyone’s mind right now and I am very happy with the protocols Mocambo is using. Food and silverware brought out on a tray and the sever sanitized his hands right in front of me before touching my plate and utensils to move to the table. Menu placed at opposite side of table so you can point to the item you want instead of touching the menu. Temperature check at the entrance, followed by hand sanitizer gel. But what rates the 5 stars and my whole hearted recommendation are the staff and the safety protocols EVERYONE followed. The fish was excellent, the drink was refreshing but IMO a little light on Rum and a bit overpriced at $160 pesos. I had the seafood stuffed filet and a grande pina coloda for a total of around $450 pesos. The setting is open-air and there is both inside dining and outside where you are literally seated on the beach just a couple of meters from the ocean. Located right on the beach and walking distance from the ferry port for those coming for the afternoon to Isla. My hotel on Isla where I’ve been since Monday has a restaurant but I was looking for a change of scenery and. Very few restaurants are open for dine in service right now but Mocambo is and I was very happy that I stopped in. The menu is seafood-heavy, and there’s a particular passion for plating up classics with an Ischia-like spin where local ingredients trump Campanian go-tos.

How to Read a Folktale: The 'Ibonia' Epic from Madagascar. Among the Tanala and the Antakarana, for example, major plot features, such as the fate of the Stone Man or the character of the Joy-Giving Girl, can vary significantly. However, six distinct versions in total have been recorded by folklorists and the variation from the base story increases with the distance from the Central Highlands. Three similar versions of the story as described above were collected by folklorists in the 1870s. The two remain married for about ten years before the relationship is ended by Ibonia's peaceful death. Ibonia wins his confrontation with Stone Man and escapes with Joy-Giving Girl. Ibonia displays his wit and physical prowess to overcome the challenges he encounters, including dressing himself in an Old Man's skin to get closer to Stone Man and Joy-Giving girl until his unprecedented talent for playing the valiha (a traditional bamboo tube zither) and fanorona (a traditional game played with stones on a board) gives him away. She then attempts to dissuade him from his quest by presenting him with other wives, which he refuses. Ibonia visits his parents before setting off on the quest and his mother spurs him to prove himself by successfully fighting a series of powerful animal and human adversaries. Great Echo in return offers Ibonia advice on how to pass a series of tests that will confront him on his quest to regain his wife. Before setting off to win her back, he engages in a verbal duel with Great Echo and beats him. Before they can be married, however, Joy-Giving girl is taken away by Trouble-Stone man. The tale begins with the conception and birth of Ibonia (Iboniamasiboniamanoro or "he of the clear and captivating glance") who demands to be betrothed to Joy-Giving girl while still in the womb of his mother, Beautiful-Rich. The first known transcription of the story was recorded in the 1870s and rapidly gained canonical status in the African literature tradition, being reprinted in numerous collections across Europe. The Ibonia predates the introduction of the printing press in Madagascar in the early part of the 19th century and as such has long been part of the poetic and storytelling oral traditions of the island. The Ibonia is an epic poem that has been told in various forms across the island of Madagascar for at least several hundred years. ![]()
