Mbuti pygmies came out of the forest to barter with their Bantu neighbours – Nande, Bira, Mangbele & Budu – but it was also the scene of a unique musical interaction! One helluva party going on at Chief Baonoko’s village, tipoyi carrier songs, message drums, pygmies playing bantu instruments, and also singing their own forest songs.
