Tarika Sammy: Balance CD

Balance is the eagerly awaited second album from Madagascar's finest musical export. This effervescent quartet has single-handedly created a new Pan-Malagasy roots music in an upfront, vibrant, modern way. They have been one of the biggest hits on the world music touring scene in recent years, including eight wildly successful weeks in North America during 1993.
Their first album, Fanafody, was widely praised for its accessible variety of "sweet strong harmonies, joyfully melancholy tunes, and unforgettable melodies, grooves and tonal textures." (Option).

Balance has all of those qualities in abundance, along with new musical surprises, as Tarika Sammy follow the creative surge that's driving them along the crest of the Malagasy music wave.
