Hira Malaza Taloha - Eny rodorodoy ny famindra (Music of Madagascar, Yazoo Rec)

Like Darwin's Galapagos finches, the traditional music of Madagascar evolved into a strange and wonderful hybrid from it's African, Indian, Oceanic and even European influences -- at once familiar but fleetingly distant, like that sensation you get when an old, forgotten dream suddenly bursts into your consciousness. Someone's already uploaded the money track from this fantastic Yazoo records compilation:

But this track is also pretty sweet.

You can get the album, The Music Of Madagascar: Classic Traditional Recordings Of The 1930s, from Amazon or directly from Yazoo Records: http://www.yazoorecords.com/
