This album was released in 1984 and features the folk music of the Republic of Madagascar, an island nation located west of the southeastern coast of Africa. In A3, a mixed group of male and female musicians play different chants over the same melody, and in B1, a stringed instrument similar to a lute is played while the chants are rhythmic with a unique breathing sound. Released from Ocora, one of Europe's best labels for field recordings of ethnic and local music from around the world.
