Summary
Author: Régis Gizavo Song title: Zeombanao Album: Mikea Label : Indigo Year : 1995 Ref : CD LBLC 2529 Song length: 3:28 (208 seconds) Fair use rationale: Illustrates Malagasy accordion style as performed by internationally celebrated Malagasy accordionist Régis Gizavo. Song is NOT in the public domain; a clip not exceeding 10% of the full-length audio clip is presented here to demonstrate this accordion performance style.

Fair Use Rationale
This is a sound sample from a commercial recording. Its inclusion in the article Music of Madagascar is claimed as fair use because:
 * 1) It illustrates an educational article that specifically discusses the traditionally Malagasy performance of the instrument featured here, as well as the artist that performs it.
 * 2) It is a sample of about 20 seconds from a much longer recording, and could not be used as a substitute for the original commercial recording.
 * 3) It is of a lower quality than the original recording.
 * 4) It is not replaceable with an uncopyrighted or freely copyrighted sample of comparable educational value.
 * 5) It is believed that this sample will not affect the value of the original work or limit the copyright holder's rights or ability to distribute the original recording.

Specific rationale for "Zeombanao"

 * 1) The accordion is an instrument that has been adapted to create a uniquely Malagasy performance style.
 * 2) Regis Gizavo is considered the greatest living master of Malagasy accordion performance. He is an international ambassador of Malagasy music and has won international awards for his accordion performance.
 * 3) This song exemplifies the technique and style of Malagasy accordion performance.
