D'Gary (Ernest Randrianasolo born 22 July 1961) is a Madagascan musician of Bara ethnicity. His primary instrument is the acoustic guitar.
[edit] Musical style
D'Gary's elaborate playing style is characterised by his use of alternative tunings. His style developed from his interest in Madagascan music such as tsapiky popular in southern Madagascar and has been compared to the music produced on traditional instruments like the Vezo's marovany frame box zither and the Bara's lokanga violin.
