Humans. The noisiest species on Earth.

[uffallah]

amazing!



[par2765]

Fuck You With This Video !!! You Bombo Claat White Trash. Why you don't show your own fucking people in the caves, when they has not been civilised yet ?? YOU BLOOD CLOTH WHITE PEOPLE !!!

[madhatter99]

@par2765 yeah right on brother, you're so civilised

[ohmusic25]

This should educate the western world on just how old and rich polyphony has been in the world of Africa. These people sing the music of Nature. What a gift to the world!

[sheilablack1]

I absolutely love how perfect the intonation of the voices are in conjunction with the rhythm. Every clap is perfect in tone. And love even more how the lead yodeler relishes her performance with pure unadulterated confidence at the end.

Incredible!

[olokun80]

these creatures are hidious. jesus christ, only hope i don't get nightmares

[madhatter99]

@olokun80 you probably will

[Fabanwo]

If you look for the worst in people you can always find something hateful and ugly to say. I'd like to see you survive in the rainforest with your pale hairy skin and dentures.

[hxasmirl]

that was nice and beautiful culture of a people ive never heard of. but i guess they dont have much dental care

[fredarik57]

These chants are wonderful world heritage!

[jovialduke]

dental plan, and amazing singing.

[KhmerSerey1]

When was the last time these people visit the desntist ??

[Superman8137]

Yodel has nothing to do with pygmies sing!!! Stop saying Pygmies sing is a kind of Yodel !!!!!!! The sings are completely different.

[Sahbisun]

Sounds beautiful! I love the way the green leaves wrapped around their brown skin looks so earthy!

[akpelaz]

So amazing!!!

[akpelaz]

Sous le charme!!! Je suis abasourdi par cet a capela; good music; Pymies people is according to me the best yodellers and vocalist performmer i have never known!!! Big "Bokayé"!

[Vazeroth16]

That was impressive given what I expected, but it's not my kind of music. I have heard different music from African regions before and enjoyed it. I'm more amazed that these cultures are made up of people that always know how to sing. I guess it's my cultural bias and I might not be aware of any bad singers.

But I don't think it's spectacular. It probably seems better than it is because most of us (myself included) expected it to be horrible.

[georgiannmilan]

They can use a good dental program for sure.....poor dental health equals heart disease.

[georgiannmilan]

They need a good dental program..for sure...poor dental health equals heart disease..

[jovialduke]

@georgiannmilan true, a fatty western diet also equals heart disease though, and for that reason i'd vouch that our society has higher levels of cancer and heart disease than theirs.

[georgianmilan1]

@jovialduke I suppose that's why we should support Doctors without Borders and other medical groups to provide such services.

[downmachinedown]

beautiful.....happy and free!!!

[badmanblottclott]

and retarded! hahaha

[Johanofsweden]

Sorry ... I can't focus on anything besides their teeth

[nadaprem]

Fantastic! Delightful! Thank you!

[ROBdeLIS]

Not only do they sing as masterfully as songbirds, their flesh accords magical powers to those who eat it.

[tamaduni]

SPIRITUAL

[unknowndeoxys00]

This. Is. So. Cool. *_* :DDD

[brittanyheiman]

Perhaps they should have chose another name for their tribe other than the Japanese word for idiot. I know they probably don't know this, but I'm just sayin' is all.

[madhatter99]

@brittanyheiman Perhapse you should have chosen a user name that doesn't sound like Brittany's hymen!

[brittanyheiman]

@madhatter99 u mad?

[madhatter99]

@brittanyheiman Wot? Me? Mad? No I just eat vegetables

[barukatube]

FAANNTASSTICC ! WITHOUT Electronis special effect !! no digital samplin or bull shiit studio effecet.mOTHER NATURE Doing its thing !

[malang06]

they are LOUD!

[ewaf84]

are you the guys that also have the remix CD where the tribal women are singing instead of yodeling?

[bakabeyond]

@ewaf84 We produced Gati Bongo & Beyond the Forest - if that's what you mean

[Simbai69]

It's actually a form of song called hocketing. The only other people that are known to do this are the Hagahai tribe of New Guinea, they have one song called "wooji".

[musicaldawnful]

Fabulous...Thanks for posting..

[MrSebyBrooks]

I doubt anyone can help me but does anyone know what the main woman sais at the end where they all agree?

[bakabeyond]

eh eh eh aki aloy

Its a kind of signal to bring everyone together and all answer in unison

[flextoneibanez]

The power of their voices is amazing. I would have never heard this if not for Baka Beyond, who are also amazing. I am a guitar player mostly influenced by metal music but I can appreciate the beauty of the music of this culture, as a lot of other people can. As I sit in my sterile western world box I realize that music is truly universal.

[tentacleorgy]

Fascinating how few of them have a facial shape congruous with modern Homo Sapiens populations. I believe we are looking at the last remnants of Homo Erectus populations. Absolutely fascinating.

[devilhunterred]

Ummmmmm....homo Erectus had been extinct for more than 2 million years................if you are so smart you should have already known that......

[tentacleorgy]

Nice use of the ellipses, you illiterate ass.

There is anatomical evidence that so-called "pygmies" are the result of archaic Homo Sapiens populations interbreeding with the last remnants of the Homo Erectus populations in Central Africa.

All it takes is a quick comparison of the average skull shape of an African pygmy with those of pre-Sapiens hominids for even the most left-leaning unscientific egalitarian to see the similarities.

[Danube03]

There's been immense genetic research on virtually every group on the planet, in terms of analysis for ancestry. I think one group being "h. erectus hybrids" would be blindingly apparent, unless the entire backbone of modern biology is based on the idea of sizable sections of humanity not being fully human.

The variations in archaic traits among humans aren't even remotely controversial in the scientific community, and lend unbelievably little credence to your multiregional beliefs.

[Danube03]

You might like to know that whites, and caucasoids as a whole, have significantly larger browridges than africans.

I know this video got linked on stormfront. Run along back there, you sick demented fuck.

[boggleroggler]

that is absolute proof for white supremacy imo

[devilhunterred]

Please elaborate.

Is it because whites are capable of exterminating natives on a systematic scale, commit racial genocide, forced cultural assimilation and perform the largest land rob in the history of mankind?

[Chefodeath]

Think again. Pygmy music displays a level of contrapuntal complexity unmatched by europeans until about the 1400s. Thats the pride of Western Art Music really, the harmonic and contrapuntal mastery achieved in that tonal sphere.

The fact that pygmies have been singing this for centuries before the Europeans AND that they did so without a form of musical notation is, if anything, a cockslap to the white man and his musical achievements.

If you choose to look at it that way.

[Cd7up]

Anta baka?!

[ShizuneIsMaiWaifu]

Baka Shinji!

[wyrda222]

if y'all like this check out West Papuan music. Sounds like freedom is a CD put out by non profit group FPCN.

[DrWinstonRelthford]

Meh.

[sholly1982]

Amazing! I love it. Our anthro teacher played this for us in class :)

[evolvingwisdom]

[Yony42]

TY4UL

[LVJay]

Absolutely astonishing.

Wonderful music!

[zshzanTila]

lol

i like the mic stands

[Elaneban]

I wana learn how to yodel properly

[madhatter99]

Su from Baka Beyond does singing workshops and can teach it.

[evolvingwisdom]

where is su and is su baka? thanks..

[bakabeyond]

Su is in Bath, UK and is not Baka, but has been visiting and singing with the Baka for 18 years. She has been initiated into their singing and the Baka women have told her she should teach their singing in the world. It teaches group togetherness and promotes positive feeling in the world

[bakabeyond]

yes, Loni is the "mysterious Baka women" mentioned in the liner notes of "Spirit of the Forest" and "Heart of the Forest"

[AyeYirMa]

i love the baka beyond song 'spirit of the forst (african percussion) is has that main womans exact yodelling [:

[soukous70]

Superb beyond belief. The sound quality on your videos is shockingly good,I never stop being blown away by that!

[bakabeyond]

Yes, we recorded the sound on a digital 8 track and mixed it down on Protools back in UK. We hope to release some of these recordings in the not too distant future. keep in touch through the Baka Beyond website for info

[jodangaro]

I remember hearing the yodel many years ago on the Baka beyond cd "Spirit of the forest" that I bought when travelling around Australia in my campervan . My children were very young then and the songs on that CD were very much a part of our lives. 10 years later they still ask to hear the yodel, so evocative of good times !

[martincradick]

this is the same woman - Loni - who sings on "Spirit of the Forest"

[seizetheweakened]

cool leaf hats!

[SCODgreenhood]

This was magical to hear years ago, and still fantastic to see now! *****
