3.0 out of 5 stars
Very likable album of Madagascar music with great guitarist, May 29, 2002
This review is from: Vetse (Audio CD)
Njava is a Madagascar band made up of 5 siblings. Lead singer Monika and sister Lala have smoky alto voices, and brother Dozzy is up there with D'Gary and Tarika Sammy's Johnny as a guitar virtuoso. If you like D'Gary's music, give this a try. The music has a dreamy, mesmerizing quality. The songwriting isn't as strong as some other Malagasy bands. In particular, the vocal melodies aren't very memorable -- the guitar melodies are catchier. The CD includes two a cappella songs. My favorite tracks are "Jiboty", "Vetse", and "Lahy Raty".
