Bobo & Behaja is a French-Malagasy quintet that explores the fresh sounds and frenetic rhythms of tsapiky. This musical style emerged in Madagascar in the late 1970s from the intersection of village traditions and modern African music, with the electric guitar as its central instrument. It is primarily performed at bals-poussière (dusty dance parties), funerals, and weddings, where musicians play continuously for several days, from early morning until late at night.

The band emerged from a collaboration between 'Electric Vocuhila,' a French quartet, and the musicians of Behaja, a new group both leading the way in modern tsapik. It creates an unprecedented combination, fusing tsapiky, (free) jazz, and rock. The band consists of Behaja on guitar, Maxime Bobo on alto saxophone, Malala on vocals, François Rosenfeld on bass, and Gérard Rakotoniaina on drums.

The prolonged trancelike state and rhythmic intensity of tsapiky have formed a unique musical language, now reinterpreted by Bobo & Behaja in a contemporary approach that connects the hypnotic power of tsapiky with the sonic textures and improvisation of jazz and rock.
