Arhoolie Foundation Presents Tarika Sammy at Down Home Music

In 1991-92 Henry Kaiser and David Lindley recorded and released “World Out Of Time, Volume 1” that featured the music of Madagascar, including two tracks by Tarika Sammy. Arhoolie Foundation Advisory Board member Elijah Wald wrote “Tarika Sammy are a sound man's nightmare. Like a Malagasy New Lost City Ramblers, they change and rotate instruments constantly. All the instruments are acoustic, and the range of tone and timbre is extreme, from guitar to concertina to a two-sided box zither. And Tarika Sammy are not satisfied with a laid-back, folksy sound. To the non-Malagasy listener, Tarika Sammy's music seems to have a strong African influence, suggesting Kenyan guitar styles and South African vocal harmonies. Hanitra (a member of the band), however, views "African music" as something completely foreign and different. "Our music is not at all African, except one song that we've just invented very recently," she says.” Listen to this performance at Down Home Music in El Cerrito in 1997 and judge for yourself what it sounds like. http://arhoolie.org/
