JAOJOBY Leave it to physicists to figure out just how salegy, the musical style from Madagascar that the band Jaojoby plays on "Malagasy" (World Village), sounds like it's accelerating while it stays at one brisk tempo. The beat is 6/8, which is constantly redivided as guitars and keyboards chatter back and forth behind Eusebe Jaojoby's robust voice; the groove is light, springy and as close as music gets to pure joy. 08/01/04 >> go there
