Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The valiha is a bamboo tube zither from Madagascar. It is played by plucking the strings, which may be made of metal or (originally) the bamboo skin which is pried up in long strands and propped up by small bridges. The strings are generally made of bicycle brake cable. The cables are unstrung into individual strands and each string of the instrument is made of only one or two strands of the cable, depending upon the tastes of the player. The greatest valiha player in recent memory is generally acknowledged to be Rakotosafy, who was born in 1938. Few of his recordings exist today, most of which were made live at the central studio of Malagasy Radio. Sylvestre Randafison, a valiha virtuoso, is also considered one of Madagascar''s cultural icons. A documentary of Madagascar, focusing on the music of the valiha and Rakotosafy, entitled Like a God When He Plays, was recently aired on Link TV. The Valiha is known as Madagascar''s national instrument.
