Fair Use Rationale[edit]

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 instrument featured here, as well as the artist that performs it.
2. It is a sample of about 24 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 "Tolombolagne"[edit]

1. The lokanga is a distinctive traditional instrument of Madagascar.
2. Vilon'androy are recognized as ambassadors of the traditional music of the Androy people of southern Madagascar.
3. This track exemplifies both lokanga performance style and Androy traditional music, both of which are discussed in this article.
