	Untitled Document
		I was born on Halloween night of 1956 in Antananarivo, the capital city of Madagascar.
		I guess that's one of the reasons the guitar became very desirable to me. My brothers played in a local band and they were into one of the most popular styles of dance music of Madagascar called Salegy.
		Again I was not allowed to be in their rehearsal room but whenever my brother practised on his own I would closely observe his technique and I would try to emulate his playing on his guitar when he was not home.

	Malagasy Pop: National Geographic World Music
		The island of Madagascar split away from the east coast of Africa more than 120 million years ago and evolved its own unique flora and fauna in quiet isolation from the rest of the world.
		Malagasy music, too, bears this mixed heritage as well as many of the other musical influences (especially European and Arabic) that drifted in on the Indian Ocean trade routes throughout the years.
		While the traditional and folkloric music of Madagascar retains the strongest connections to Malaysia, Malagasy pop, strongly influenced by the radio signals of its neighbors, bears a heavier East African stamp.

	Madagascar - Back to the Roots - The Journal: Music
		The feeling for music just seems to be hardwired into the Malagasy brain.
		When I left Germany to study in Canada, I noticed that in Germany, there was a tendency for "heavy" music, heavy meaning dark, somewhat depressing, and hard-to-digest yet interesting sound, with bands such as Massive Attack, Portishead, and various forms of hip hop and drum'n'bass.
		In Madagascar, however, the music is as light as it can get.

	Danny Carnahan: Music Writing
		When Henry Kaiser handed me a pile of tapes of guitar music from Madagascar in 1990, I was only dimly aware of the California-sized island in the Indian Ocean.
		Henry had heard that Dama was credited with introducing this American pattern picking approach to Malagasy trad music and that the style was even referred to there as "Dama Picking." We marveled that identical picking styles could be invented within a generation by two different guitarists 12,000 miles apart.
		So, as rare as Malagasy music may have been until recently to the rest of the world, the musicians on the island have hardly been culturally or musically isolated.
