Various Artists - MADAGASCAR (The Accordion of the Masikoro Country) (2026)

The diatonic accordion has become deeply integrated into the Masikoro culture of Madagascar, undergoing technical adaptations to align with indigenous musical scales. Musicians perform on vintage, repeatedly repaired instruments, incorporating mechanical noises into their artistic expression. The instrument plays a pivotal role in both social and spiritual spheres, accompanying everyday events and essential rituals, ranging from funerals to exorcism ceremonies.
