Tarika Sammy

TARIKA SAMMY blends Madagascar’s diverse musical styles, offering a journey across the Big Red Island. Sammy, living in his own musical world, crafts nearly all his instruments, from violins and flutes to traditional guitars (kabosy) and percussion. Bosco, who learned the kabosy while herding zebu in the Eastern Highlands, joined Sammy in Antananarivo in 2004. They are accompanied by Clara, a multi-instrumentalist, singer, and dancer from Betsileo, who began singing the a-capella style zafindraona at age six.
