Available from Amazon Marketplace 1 New from $19.63 8 Used from $5.45

It's always hard to separate out the influences on a Malagasy recording - I was sure D'Gary's guitar would resemble traditional valiha playing, instead it's a complex mixture of East African traditional and European influences (but no Joseph Spence, despite the blurb). At times he sounds like Ali Farka Toure without the bluesy overtones (though perhaps not as delicate) - long, fluid runs which reminded me of Portuguese fado, at other times he strums in a way that recalls the South African Citaumvano! Actually, this diversity is not surprising when you consider D'Gary's island origins . ~ Carl Hoyt

Personnel: Ernest Randrianasolo (vocals, guitar, steel guitar); Panayotis Dourantonis (percussion).

Option (5-6/93, p.99) - "...[MALAGASY GUITAR] is essential for anyone with even a remote interest in finger-picked acoustic guitar....The sum is both serene and earthy, naive and sophisticated, as if D'Gary had learned from a guitar master and then disappeared to that remote island to create a new language for the instrument..."
