In 1991 psychedelic gitarist Henry Kaiser and folk musician David Lindley visited the island Madagascar in the Indian Ocean, about 250 miles off the eastcoast of Afrika. Parted from the mainland 160 million years ago. The majority of the people is very poor but nature has an overwhelming richness of unique animals and tree sorts… In culture and language influences of three contignents melt together.
Within two weeks of recording time there was enough material to fill five albums. I’ve bought the first two volumes of “A World out of Time” and now, nearly twenty years later, i have a chance to see my favorite band of these two albums live in concert…
it’s Sammy’s Band, or in madagascarian words: Tarika Sammy, and they come to play at the Parkgebouw in Rijssen. I’ve bought immediately a ticket and will visit the concert on 21 april, armed with my photocam and audio-recording device, looking forward to it! To get in the mood you can listen to my favorite song of them on A World Out of Time 1: “Hana“
