TSAPIKY MIXTAPE (RIAFC151)

An electrifying mixtape celebrating the explosive new Sublime Frequencies LP “TSAPIKY!” Brace yourself for a mind-blowing hour of Malagasy guitar music that includes a cut from the new record, rare gems from French ethnomusicologist Julien Mallet’s early 2000s recordings, and fresh cuts from Fifangaroa & MaAuLa Records. Huge gratitude to Maxime Bobo, Boris Paillard, and the phenomenal tsapiky masters of Tulear, Madagascar.
