Since 1993 Tarika have established a reputation for themselves on the world music circuit, and become successful enough to be called Madagascar's biggest musical export.
While in Madagascar musicians rarely make a living from their art, Tarika saw the possibilities for the future, and relocated to London, which proved receptive to their sound when their debut, Bibiango was issued in 1994.
Tarika lightened up a year later with D (Malagasy for dance), which saw them providing some originals and covering '60s and '70s Malagasy hit singles, providing a sampler of dance styles from the Big Red island.

 Tarika   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
Tarika has one foot firmly sewn into the tightly woven fabric that makes up Madagascar's strong traditions; but the other is kinetic, not content to merely kick around the notion that the country's indigenous instruments and distinctive singing styles most certainly need to be preserved.
The five-member band is determined to drive, punch and hammer that point home with colorful singing and dancing, and they approach their craft with the enthusiasm of the very open-minded.
Tarika's current release, Bibiango (translated "hungry beasts"), begins with the bright notes of "Anokay," valiha shining in all its crystalline glory, the sharpness of the kabosy ever present, precision-like vocals a cause for speculation as to whether massive overdubbing was used to create the feeling of being in tune with one another.

 Tarika 10: Beasts, Ghosts & Dancing With History / cdRoots
The songs here start at Bibiango, moving through Son Egal, D and Soul Makassar, with a live track from WOMAD and a couple of remixes, one of which, by Transglobal Underground, is a real growler the earthquake rhythm from 6000 fathoms, and those lovely clear, joyful voices on top.
But seen live at a gig some years ago, I found Tarika's rhythmic pulse compulsive even with low-intensity amplification and no drums; the cascading figures on the valiha zithers and the general animation and velocity are potent.
Tarika's Son Egal album, for example, was a work researching popular history, looking into the colonial French use of West African troops to put down a Malagasy uprising in 1947, casting light in previously murky corners.

 Tarika and Tarika Sammy: Two reviews from 1996/1997
Sammy and Tiana continued the Tarika Sammy name, reuniting with some of the early contingent, going back to a sound more like the one they developed in the early eighties, while adding a certain pop sensibility to the proceedings clearly acquired through his experiences with the touring band.
The album is a rememberance, in recognition of the 100th anniversary of the exile of the Malagasy queen Ranavalona III by the French, and the 50th year since the put down of a popular rebellion on the island, in part by troops from west Africa recruited by the French.
Hanitra Rasoanaivo is now clearly the backbone of the band known as Tarika, from her face on the cover of the new album, Son Egal (Xenophile/Green Linnet) to the songs and liner notes contained within.
