Free Boys - Amoron Dranomasina Fagnontsafa

Review by Dean Chamberlain

Album Review: Amoron Dranomasina Fagnontsafa by Free Boys Alright, so here’s the deal—this album Amoron Dranomasina Fagnontsafa from 1976 is kinda like stumbling across an old vinyl at a flea market. You don’t expect much, but then BAM—it hits you with something raw and real. Hailing straight outta Madagascar (yeah, that island paradise), Free Boys bring together Folk, World, Country vibes, and even some Pop flair. The mix feels homespun yet totally intentional, like they knew exactly what they were doing without overthinking it. The standout tracks for me are “Amoron-Dranomasina” and “Fagnontsafa.” Let’s talk about “Amoron-Dranomasina” first. Man, this one’s got soul. It’s not just music; it’s storytelling. You can almost picture Georges Daniel (the songwriter) sitting under a tree scribbling these lyrics down while life buzzes around him. The ballad style pulls you in slow, like wading into warm water. There's no rush—you're just there soaking it all up. And those harmonies? Super smooth, like honey drizzled on toast. I kept rewinding because it felt too short every time. Then there’s “Fagnontsafa,” which flips the vibe completely. This track leans more into Salegy rhythms, which—if you’ve never heard before—are basically guaranteed to get your feet tapping whether you want them to or not. It’s upbeat but still has that earthy feel, like dancing barefoot on grass. What sticks with me most is how effortless it sounds. Like, did they nail this in one take? Props to Engineer C. Kelly and Eugene for keeping things tight but unpolished enough to let the heart shine through. The production creds go to Irénée Rabefanonta, and honestly, he deserves a shoutout. He didn’t drown the songs in studio magic—they breathe. Oh, and hats off to Bisteta for the layout and photography too. Even though we’re talking ‘70s here, the whole package looks cohesive, like it was meant to exist exactly as it does. What really gets me thinking, though, is how timeless this album feels. In 2023, when everything’s auto-tuned and hyper-produced, listening to Amoron Dranomasina Fagnontsafa feels like finding a hidden path back to simpler times. But hey, maybe that’s just me romanticizing stuff. Or maybe…just maybe…Free Boys were onto something bigger than they realized. Either way, give it a spin if you ever stumble upon it. Just don’t blame me if you end up humming “Amoron-Dranomasina” for days. Random thought: If someone remade this album today, would it blow up on TikTok? Food for thought.

Interesting fact about Album

Here's an interesting fact: Back in 1976, a small but impactful album called *Amoron Dranomasina Fagnontsafa* by Free Boys came out in Madagascar. It blended Folk, World, Country, and Pop styles with Malagasy flavors like Salegy and Ballad. The record was released under the Kaiamba label and carried the creative fingerprints of people like producer Irénée Rabefanonta and engineer C. Kelly. Fun detail—the same person, Bisteta, handled both the layout and photography. And here’s the kicker: the songs were penned by Georges Daniel, adding a personal touch to this hidden gem from Madagascar's music scene.
