Nogabe Randriamalala (Madagascar)

African, Asian and Europe cultures and music styles have co-existed for centuries on the island of Madagascar. This unusual melting pot has produced many beautiful melodies, and guitarists like Nogabe Randriamalala have helped create a style unique to the Island. Nogabe was born and raised in Madagascar, and also lived in China for many years, where he added more diverse influences to his musical style.

He is now based in London and his music continues to evolve and mature. His most recent album Aftra marks a return to more traditional Malagasy rhythms, such as the Salegy and Tsapika styles. Nogabe works in a trio from guitars and percussion.

“The acoustic guitar is Nogabe’s weapon of choice and he makes it sound unlike it does anywhere else … its spotless, bell-clear tone is matched by a dazzling agility and liquidity that millions of bedroom singer-songwriters could only dream of “ Womad Festival 2009
