Seeing Tence Mena perform live is the musical equivalent of standing in the path of an oncoming hurricane. She is a force of nature. Costumes change with almost every song, ranging from military commando outfits to cyberpunk hairdos; from tribal body art to power suits. This song is one of the first Tence Mena released, and with it she launched herself into Malagasy public consciousness. She is saying “Here I am, this is what I do - Come with me! Come on!”.

Vinyl version. Well, you'll hear from which medium this was sourced (cassettes), but this ain't no complaint as it puts you back into the time it was recorded. And a musically great time it was as you experience on this absolutely heartical compilation. Think this one will grow with further listening. Thanks for this one, Ostinato Records!! Markus Bader

I have to say that this one is one of the finest compilation I've ever seen. The story, the cover, the pictures, the booklet and of course the music! Just magic, like a time machine. fabmeyer
