| "This is the very best anthology of music from the island of Madagascar to be released in the west. Terrific performances. Terrific recording. Terrific variety... This happens to be my favorite release of the year. It's the one CD that I would trade all of the others for. " - Henry Kaiser, East Bay Express |

Please note!
Most CDs have been
imported from Europe or Asia.
They are not all
shrink-wrapped, and I am not
going to con you by wrapping them
here just to make you think they
have been sterilized in America.
We guarantee that the CDs and the
contents are all brand new and in
perfect condition. Whenever I
can, I use recycled shipping
materials. They may not look as
pretty on the outside, but they save
money and keep the trash dumps a
little bit emptier.
