Tsapiky and salegy are two "endemic" Malagasy genres from opposite ends of the big island, (southwest and north, respectively) rarely heard elsewhere except in diaspora spaces. Tempos race between 150 and 180 bpm, with the dexterous guitars of tsapiky offset by the pumping accordions and synths of salegy. Inspired by a research trip in March '24, this mix pulls from a DVDs and CDs purchased at Super Music Analakely in the capital city, Antananarivo, crunchy mp3s from the market Sanfil in Toliara and the latest social media/youtube hits.
