A Visit to Madagascar
Madagascar is a big island with a big heart, occupying a special place in Afropop's musical imagination. We have visited this one-of-a-kind island in the Indian Ocean several times and brought back joyous music and fascinating stories. We'll hear Dame of the ground-breaking roots revival group Mahaleo give us a musical landscape of different Malagasy instruments--kabosy, valiha-- and styles--salegy, tsapika, sova, hiragassy--in the amazingly diverse Malagasy cultures. We'll visit other artists and hear private performances, plus a feast of the valiha (kora like string music). The show features long stretches of songs to dance your heart out to.

Weekend In Antananarivo
Getting psyched for the April 2001 Afropop Adventure in Madagascar with intrepid Afropop listeners (armchair travelers can follow via dispatches sent to our web site, and radio listeners will hear musical highlights later in the spring), here's an Afropop Classic from our 1996 visit to the capital of Madagascar. We catch Dama Mahaleo, leader of the roots revival movement from the 1970s, in concert. We also visit a hiragasy musical theater competition.And check out the amazing guitar playing from Tulear, on the west coast of the island (where Afropoppers will be heading).
