Music that fuses different styles together can be a spark of genius, but it doesn't always ignite. Oladad has the spark gets a good flame going with it. They have a love for rap and hip-hop music, which sits comfortably alongside the betsileo sounds from of their hometown, Fianarantsoa. The lyrics of the song are about an exceptionally beautiful girl called Maintsokely. She is pretty, but is a rebellious character and only wants to enjoy the moment, and never to think of the future. She regrets it in the end, when things fall apart.

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
