Reviewed 2004-05-25
This Malagasy guitarist/singer/songwriter goes mostly solo, though is joined on a few tracks by other singers & percussion. A strong blend of both vocal and instrumental tracks. He has a delicate but emotional voice and a relaxed (and relaxing) style and he’s got great technique as a guitarist. Good stuff.

1. Quiet, slow, relaxed and introspective.
2. Gentle & easy w/a high, almost child-like vocal.
*3. Bright w/ percussion, nice vocal harmonies & some fast strings.
*4. Guitar/tabla instrumental jam. Very cool.
*5. Male vox, percussion/strings. Bouncy, catchy, nicely energetic.
6. A wandering guitar instrumental w/a nice progression of tones.
7. Soaring vocals, mid/uptempo strings/perc. Bright.
8. Quick vocals/perc/guitar. A happy sound.
*9. Uptempo electric guitar/tabla instrumental. Great playing.
*10. Sweet vocal duet in a relaxed bounce w/a a nice melodic quality.
*11. Fast vocals/perc/guitar. Lively & warm.
12. Electric guitar/table/perc instrumental world funk
5/2004
