Musical influences in Madagascar can come from all directions - far afield (think Country & Western, Rock & Roll), and closer to home. In this case, Zambey credit their rhythms and harmonies to the music of South Africa. The lyrics are about a young boy who falls in love with an older woman. She takes good care of him - pays for his studies and his housing - and so he wants to let her know that she will never be forgotten.

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
