Bayaka - The Extraordinary Music Of The Babenzele Pygmys And Sounds Of Their Forest Home The Babenzele Pygmys, who call themselves "Bayaka", have produced music since before history was ever notated. As evidenced by the album, "Bayaka: The Extraordinary Music Of The Babenzele Pygmys And Sounds Of Their Forest Home", recorded in the field by New Jersey-born Louis Sarno and Bernie Krause in 1995, the polyphonic choral singing of this cooperative community of hunter gatherers continues to echo through the rainforest of Central African Republic. According to Sarno, who has lived with the community for more than a decade, "musically speaking, the Bayaka all begin life as musical prodogies. By the time they are teenagers, they have the technical ability and the genius to sing music that sends shivers down the spine. At middle age, their music has the power to heal damaged souls". Sarno's interest in the music of the Babenzele Pygmys was sparked when he heard a traditional Pygmy song on the radio in 1979. In the late-80s, Sarno decided to spend time living with the community. His friendship and respect for the group enabled him to record "Bayaka". In addition to the Pygmy's unique singing and musical accompaniment, the album incorporates the naturalistic sounds of crickets, frogs and birds and other sounds of the Central African rainforest. In addition to writing a well-researched, hard cover included with the cd. Sarno wrote an autobiogrpahical book, "Song From The Forest", that was published by Houghton Mifflin. ~ Craig Harris, All Music Guide Quality: 256Kbps + cover + info earthmusic.wordpress
