Madagascar Music on CD
This is a listing of all known CDs comprised entirely of Malagasy music that have been released outside of Madagascar.
When this CD-ography was first compiled at the beginning of the 1990s it had barely a couple of dozen entries. At that time there were no CDs being produced locally in Madagascar which had just a faltering cassette-only market. During the '90s we added the few local CD releases as they gradually appeared. However, by the end of 2002 the local CD market had exploded with numerous releases and it is impossible to obtain and keep up to date with full information on CDs coming out there. In addition, recent experience is that some local releases bought in major outlets in Antananarivo are in fact CD-Rs rather than properly pressed CDs. So from 2002 onwards we add only CDs released by labels outside Madagascar or available outside through normal distribution channels.
This listing also does not include compilations and samplers where the odd Malagasy track is included along with music from other countries. On the whole, those tend to be tracks sourced from albums on this list, though there are a few exceptions. All listings are presented:

Ian Anderson contributed a chapter on Malagasy music to the Rough Guide To World Music Vol 1: Africa, Europe & The Middle East (Rough Guides/Penguin: ISBN 1-85828-635-2

I'm also always interested in finding good condition copies of Discomad and Kaiamba 7" singles and EPs in their original bags, and any old photographs or printed memorabilia of Malagasy musicians.
If your interest in Malagasy music has stimulated an interest in getting a wider view of the country, the soc.culture.malagasy newsgroup is worth your attention. On the Web, August Schmidthofer's Bibliography of Malagasy Music has links to most of the important web sites dealing with Malagasy music.
