Hi, Are you sure the little is "O Zaza Ny Fandeha Disia" ? I am a native Malagasy speaker and I see this makes no sense at all, of course the vocal is not perfect and it's a bit difficult to get what he says but what I can hear is "O zaza re ii tiandeha diasa, tsy anao irery navelam-bady e!" which means "O girl (in this context not a child) even you want to go (please) wait, you are not the only one left by a husband" so the title is probably: O ZAZA TIANDEHA DIASA
@MrLaolo No, I am not sure the title really is "O Zaza Ny Fandeha Disia". I copied the title from the CD where I got this tune from. And probably you are right with your assumption. However, the most important thing is the music, isn't it? :)
@rakotozafysweden You're right! What's important is the music! Thanks a lot for sharing that rare Malagasy traditional music. Do you have the other piece called "MANGINA ZAZA" ?
Thanks so much for this! My favorite Rakotozafy cut (so far...) I think is called "Samy Faly" (does that make any sense in Malagasy?), from a wonderful record of valiha music i came across by chance at a going-out-of-business sale and have unfortunately lost! A great genius of a beautiful tradition.
Reminds Me of the kora music My uncle used to play for me when i was a Kid.
My favorite currently is Toumani Diabate.
Funny how African souls merge no matter how separated we are.

It seems like this : O ry Zaza iry, te-handeha diaso, tsy anao irery no navelam-bady. And the meaning is right
