The Malagasy people open the tombs of their dead every few years, rewrap them in fresh burial clothes, and perform a dance near the tomb while music plays all around. This ritual is translated as "turning of the bones" and is meant to speed up decomposition and push the spirit of the dead toward the afterlife.
