Justin Vali Trio

Madagascar

Justin Vali is the ambassador of today's Malagasy music and a virtuoso of the stringed instrument the Vahila. A melting pot of musical influences, each region of Madagascar has its own unique sound and Justin Vali has dedicated his life to building a vast repertoire of classical, ceremonial, traditional and modern tunes from his country. He is the only musician ever to master all Vahilas and his work reflects African rhythmic influences, with refined Asian melodies and harmonies enhanced by elaborate Oriental structures and orchestrations. Together with his fellow musicians on guitar and kabossy - the Malagasy mandolin - the music of the Justin Vali Trio captures the musical soul of an extraordinary island.
