June 26 is Independence Day in Madagascar, the world's second largest island nation (surpassed only by Indonesia) and one of its greatest biodiversity hot spots. It's also a hot spot for indigenous music, with influences flowing in from East, Central and Southern Africa, Oceania, Southeast Asia, the Indian subcontinent, the Arab world, France and of course the USA.
But Malagasy music sounds like nothing else in the world. Hear for yourself this week (Sunday June 26, 1:00-3:00 PM on WRIR, for two weeks afterwards on the wrir.org archive player, check your local listings for airing on other radio stations, and any old time at my podcast site) when I'll play an hour of music from Madagascar. Also this week: new reggae from Soothsayers and Tiken Jah Fakoly, some Anatolian psych-rock and sounds of Sudan.
