¡Tsapiky!
En estos días se publican dos discos fundamentales sobre el irresistible ritmo del tsapiky, originario del sudoeste de Madagascar, registrados allí in situ: el nuevo trabajo del guitarrista Damily y su Toliaria Tsapiky Band, con grabaciones realizadas durante la fihisa, la celebración fúnebre por la muerte de su madre, y el recopilatorio «Tsapiky! Modern music from southwest Madagascar«, que verá la luz a primeros de mayo. Echamos mano también de otros dos recopilatorios esenciales anteriores, como son «Tsapiky, panorama d’une jeune musique de Tuléar» y «Tulear never sleeps: Tsapiky guitars from South West Madagascar«, así como de la música de los franceses Electric Vocuhila, imbuidos de esta sonoridad. Son grabaciones que nos permitirán profundizar en este indómito estilo que se adapta a las más variadas instrumentaciones: guitarras eléctricas y acústicas, acordeones, flautas, fanfarrias…
These days, two essential albums are being released featuring the irresistible rhythm of tsapiky, originally from the southwest of Madagascar, recorded on site: the new work by guitarist Damily and his Toliara Tsapiky Band, with recordings made during the fihisa, the funeral celebration for his mother’s passing, and the compilation “Tsapiky! Modern Music from Southwest Madagascar”, which will be released in early May. We also revisit two previous essential compilations: “Tsapiky, Panorama d’une Jeune Musique de Tuléar” and “Tulear Never Sleeps: Tsapiky Guitars from South West Madagascar”, as well as music by the French group Electric Vocuhila, steeped in this sound. These recordings allow us to delve deeper into this indomitable style that adapts to the most varied instrumentations: electric and acoustic guitars, accordions, flutes, brass bands…
