{"product_id":"damily_valimbilo-vinyl_2018_lad","title":"VALIMBILO (vinyl)","description":"Madagascar had accustomed us to its \"mafana\" (hot) rhythms from the north, but the fact is that the temperature rises as you go south: in Toliara, a city crushed by the heat of the Mozambique Channel, they play a downright fiery regional style, Tsapiky. Tsapiky? An infernal beat on zebu-skin drums, battered electric guitars, high-pitched voices that tear at your heart, a sound saturated by hyper-DIY local equipment. And musicians who weave on a groove that seems to spin backward, at a frantic pace. It's good, it's the local fix, the collective intoxication. In a 30-year career, Damily has become the most incisive and prolific guitarist, a driving force in the small world of Tsapiky, which he has marked with his attacking riffs. For 10 years, with his band, he has been setting international stages on fire as an eternal irreducible of musical globalization. In June 2017, in the middle of a European tour, the team set up their gear in Haut Anjou (France) and entrusted David Odlum (Grammy-winning sound engineer for his work on Tinariwen's album) with the analog recording of a short 3-day session. The result is Valimbilo, a new album with a warm, heavy, and powerful sound, just like what the band offers on stage. Magical! \"Rustic rock and exotic tradition all at once, the virtuoso and radical guitar of Malagasy Damily delivers its new treasures in a twelfth album that celebrates its roots. Powerful, full-bodied.\"","brand":"Damily","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55310219739480,"sku":null,"price":23910006.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0898\/4943\/0360\/files\/7640159731313_9f5f6860-7eb9-464b-af3f-0ed50efac32e.jpg?v=1760319054","url":"https:\/\/vinyles.com\/en-us\/products\/damily_valimbilo-vinyl_2018_lad","provider":"Vinyles.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
