Fanjiry

"At a time when truth and authenticity in music seem more elusive than ever, this album feels like a gift. Long considered a central figure in southwest Madagascar's tsapiky tradition, Damily here retreats from the hurtling speed and intoxicating trance of the sound he helped create (...) and, like a sonic alchemist, distils it into something that offers solace to all within earshot. Over nine songs, he reminds us how much emotion a solo guitar can contain when it is played with tenderness, fullness and individuality".
