Engineer Sean Whittaker took a job in Madagascar, thinking he would spend the next few years building and operating windmills. One day, Sean overheard the melody of a healing ceremony and it sparked an interest in music he didn’t realize he had. Now Sean produces albums; his latest was a worldwide hit that featured Madagascar’s top female singer. Rob Weisberg has the story.
