Tarika (musical group)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Tarika is a musical group from Madagascar. The group's predecessor Tarika Sammy began in the 1980s, but as Tarika they debuted in 1993. At that point they had relocated to London. Their second album involved work with Senegalese musicians and dealt with a 1947 revolt in Madagascar.[1]

That said a great deal of their music is more concerned with dance or musical tradition. D was most concerned with dance music. Their 2001 album Soul Makassar dealt with the musical connections between Indonesia and Madagascar. They are also led by two sisters, Hanitra and Noro. Hanitra has engaged in creating an arts center in recent years.[2]
