Horombe

D'Gary is one of the most astonishing guitarists in the world. He hails from Madagascar, and although his music is richly informed by the Indian Ocean island's traditional music, he has developed a unique style on his open-tuned acoustic guitar: melodically and harmonically intricate, rhythmically frenetic. On his first two albums he played his guitar and sang accompanied by a lone drummer, but for HOROMBE he formed Jihé, a group of singers and percussionists that marvelously succeeds in keeping up with him.
