This recording is dedicated to the memory of Mama Sana, the last traditional player of the tubular zither called valiha, which many consider to be the 'national instrument' of Madagascar. Sakalava Menabe is a region located on the central western coast of the island. These recordings were made in 1995 and 1996 by the people who live here, and knew her best.

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.
