Baka Pygmy Music 

Highly inventive and constantly changing, the vocal 
polyphony and the polyrhythmic sounds of hands and 
drums are prodigious achievements which astonish 
modern composers. 

 
   
The art of the Pygmies is fascinating for its ingenuity 
on all occasions, even when children play in the river 
and clap their hands rhythmically on the surface of the 
water.

 

Recorded in 1975
