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.
