About Soul Makassar
Amazon.com After the danceable delights of D, plunge back into a style that wraps serious ideas in a joyful musical robe while looking at the Indonesian ancestry of Madagascar. Thus tracks like "Sulawesi" shine an important light on the band and the big red island, connecting the dots across the Indian Ocean. Produced by Sabah Habas Mustapha, who has a strong Indonesian musical pedigree himself, this disc offers a seamless mix of elements from both geographic areas and illustrates the common root. Of course, this being Tarika, the disc also features songs in French, some superb playing on the vahila and marovany, and plenty of rhythms to set the feet tapping. Further, there are sororal harmonies that come close to being unearthly, not to mention a charmingly naive cover of "Be My Baby" and some Malagasy rap to round things out. It's Tarika's most diverse and ambitious statement to date--an anthropological document with a groove. --Chris Nickson
