Madagascar has been in the news a lot lately and as with most of the world, that’s not because things are going great. Let me just suggest you do read up on the news while I share this song by The Dizzy Brains, a garage punk band from the nation’s capital Antananarivo. I love this song, from last year, not just because of its addictive staccato rhythm but also because you can hear how the Malagasy language is closely related to Malay, for the first people to discover the island were Indonesian, not African (and certainly not French!).
