Tsapiky is\u00a0Malagasy genre driven by\u00a0a scorching beat played on drum heads made out of zebu pelts, wrecked electric guitars, high pitched voices that\u2019ll rip your heart out, a saturated sound played on local DIY gear.<\/p>\n<p>During over 30 years, guitarist Damily has been the sharpest and most\u00a0prolific\u00a0artist in\u00a0the tsapiky world.\u00a0Along with his band, he has been setting the international scene on fire as fighters against musical globalization process. All the characteristics of the genre can be found on &#8220;Zaho Va&#8221; from his 1995 album <em>Jagirike vol .1<\/em>, which can be listened to below.<\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"Damily - Zaho Va\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/t6sW4JxNvsA?feature=oembed&#038;autoplay=1\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>In the 90&#8217;s, Damily records up to two tapes a year.
