[bakabeyond]

Sadly Basil (the lead singer here) died last week in spite of our efforts to get him treatment. Please buy Gati Bongo (use link in description). All proceeds go to the Baka through the charity Global Music Exchange who are working with local NGOs to help their health care (amongst many other projects).

[ndoss01]

I so like my dear country, pygmies are underestimated their culture is very rich.

[DieGoldeneEicheL]

Wenn hier jemand Deutsch sprechen sollte,würde ich gerne einen besuch vornehmen.. Diese stimmungen dieses Liedes haben mir einen sinn im Leben gegeben.Teile viel, jedoch niemals dich selbst.Als mein Vater aus ungeklährten umständen verstarb, ist mein sinn des lebns verschwommen.

Einzig meine mutter und mein bruder hilten mich am leben.

Diese musik bringt mich zu jehner zeit zurück,als ich mit meinem vater(bester freund) zusammen wahr.

Ich danke euch für link.

[siasabora]

pretty good

[bgoodwiser]

i am an Acholi from Ug and Sud i love this musics sounds nice.

[bakabeyond]

Its on Gati Bongo (search on iTunes) You can get it from our web shop.

There's a link in the expanded description.

[Prymetymebime]

Where can i buy this music from?

[kurtkristensen]

The Pygmies of Cameroon! Can't wait to get into the forest and record some 'crunchy grooves'!

[bakabeyond]

@kurtkristensen Well if you do I hope you credit them for your grooves. If you want to get royalties earned back to them you can through Global Music Exchange (google it). Lets have fair trade for musicians wherever they come from!

[siasabora]

I know Music when I hear it....this is Music!

[Voiceofcameroon]

Illegal logging by the CPDM government (Paul Biya corrupt regime) is destroying the natural culture and livelihood of the equatorial rain forest indigenous people. I love this video. Cameroon is the place to be.

[Zepang]

This song is P-U-R-E happiness : D

[RabAllan]

Cameroon is amazing. The best people and country in the world... I was there for six months in and around the Korup jungle. These people are singing in English believe it or not; pidgin english. If you listen you will hear what they are saying. The music is called makossa (ma-koo-sa) You can never get enough. Look up Sam Fan Thomas...  I LOVE CAMEROON! In my heart, I'm Cameroonian!!!

[voidance]

man, this is making my day a happy one ... thanks a lot

[SimonLy90]

Beautiful rainforest jams

[reglyonga]

damm....dis is amazin.....beautiful.....so beautiful...

[Ilikefoiegras]

What are the words and what language are they singing them in?

My wife says that I am playing this too often. Is this possible? And should I care?

[Marleyites]

@Ilikefoiegras

[drakula29]

le cameroun profond, je suis fiere d'être camerounaise.

[bakabeyond]

Baka Gbiné will be performing at a festival we are organising in Limbé, Cameroon on 16th Jan 2010. You can meet them there and maybe they will invite you to visit their home. Keep watching our website and we will be posting updates when we have more information. Sign up to the mailing list on the Baka Beyond website or follow on twitter and you will be updated when we have new information

[nkanga4]

as a musician from the caribbean I must say they are amaizing conections between this and the music of the dominican republic and the republic of haiti.

[ThatsABiggon]

:) we are essentially the same people. we all come from the same place. It's just that we in the west were taken from our home & scattered. All of the rhythms, most of the melodies, & musical logistics of the Latin world & America are from this-the most musical-continent. If you don't believe me, just find the west & central African traditional music videos that utilize traditional instruments & see if you don't hear the roots of, blues, spirituals, calypso, etc., in some form or another. ciao

[willworkforfro]

as a cameroonian, I can tell you it's not a matter of brightness, just wide-spread corruption.

[joaochoa]

Of course, and that applies to almost every country I can think of, and I'm not just talking about Africa...

[coco4fine]

u know guys, i think this video shows people that true happiness is not in the beauty of the place but in the love of the people and pride

[joaochoa]

Very true!

I've been saying that all of my life!

haha.

[mbua1]

horrible

[darkninja636]

dude have you got wax in your ears ??????

[mbua1]

what does that have to do with anything u fag

[dogblessamerica]

Long live the Nawa! This seems like a rewarding project for all concerned, they are sharing their pride in their culture and getting something back.

[strongpikin]

My GOD!!!! Hear those guitars talk!!!! Amazing!!!!

[Soccergurlz]

lol wow, this is that stuff i need to see, makes me feel right at home...merci

[13triki]

Beautiful, just beautiful. That big tree and those around were the happiest trees in all Africa at that moment, I bet.

Thanks to those who made this possible, and love/peace to all these beautiful people who sing beautiful!

[kayooteya]

I'm a fan of a variety of African music and these people are inately talented. Big fan of Shona Mbira from Zimbabwe, south african folk, Malo kora, and now this.

I play along to this tune with my ukulele. Thanks for posting this.

[Neanderthalcouzin]

by "malo kora" I meant mali kora. Anyone interested in this should check out Toumani Diabete.

For a preview of the austere beauty of the kora, type this

"Toumani Diabate plays the Kora"

[eco77punk]

amazing ...

save the nature.!

[ciarax4]

is cameroon government doing sumthing 'bout dis peeps...it looks like dey are completely outta da map but dey're not..gud music...

[martincradick]

The Cameroon government are more helpful than they were 15 years ago. There's a lot to be positive about there - open debate and free press. The Cameroonians are generally well informed about the world.

[Jacobbmarley]

what's it baout?

[Hollizter2]

I WANNA LIVE THERE SOME DAY...but i feel bad that most of them have aids :(  Wish i could help.

[martincradick]

I've lived with this family on and off for the last 15 years and as far as I know none of them has AIDS. 30% of their children die before their fifth birthday and I've seen more adults die there than I have in my whole life in England, but that's from normally easily cured illnesses due to their poverty.

They're generally happier people than the English tho!

[teeggarscott]

U sick "Muther fucker", don't U try to insult my ethnicity.

[Miniyoya]

I love this video and music. The first time I heard the group on  itunes I just jumped up and dance.

[Yougoingdownn]

I love Africans, best people ever :)

[OrignalLignator]

Good Stuff, got anymore?

[ustadkhanali]

This is so gorgeous to watch and listen to and feel.

[08107525298]

This is so touching. I can't believe how much music they can produce with very few instruments and under such accoustic conditions. Incredible indeed! I just love it.

[afroman555]

Faire beaucoup avec si peu.!!! good!!

[madhatter99]

This track is from the CD "Gati Bongo" by Baka Gbiné.  You can buy it at bakabeyond's website

[justbe2one]

Mamma mia! Sono a casa!

[musongm]

I must say I am from Cameroon, but have never listened to music that sank so deep into my head, and it did without my permission. simply Awesome!!!

[eco77punk]

amazing song..!

fell the vibration...

[grazzellian]

Heavenly music. This is great. Very proud to see my people enjoying the best things in life- a feeling of close-knit communal spirit, peace, happiness, freedom devoid of the hassles of modernism. I am one of them and wish I were there right now! There is more to Africa than meets the eye.

[ashajones2001]

wonderful...my boyfriend is from Cameroon and I can now get the dance moves down and join him in a dance....LOL the music is beautiful

[vampiro20007]

this na wah ohh

[tomjude818]

thats the title of the song nor... na wa....lol... like it... very nice.

[MACRAMBI]

Great indeed. Music of the year. Sound recording. Am nostalgic. Simple and normal life though with political Dictators. People have learn t to be happy in every situation. I love and miss my Darling Cameroon.

[AletheaPorteza]

I was feeling down today, watched this again- and it cheered me up!

[vandingelen]

Great video, love the music.

[AletheaPorteza]

Wow...This is sooo cool!

[ebfisa]

Nice beats, this video should win an award

[okonkolo]

those are the coolest mic stands in the history of recording!

[Akampeter]

amazing

[sportifs]

great

[jjnocharles]

So simple and beautiful!

[Jakooka]

Like joesubscriber, I long to return to the rainforest. As soon as I leave it, I miss it. The music here is genius. It's genius in it's simplicity, underlying complexity, and in its harmoney. Beautiful!

[smallpikin]

This is simply beautiful! Back to the basics!

[larighis]

Es ist wirklich eine sehr schöne Aufnahme und Lied gewesen .Danke an allen, die es ermöglicht haben.

[paulcresci]

Thank you Baka Gbiné and Martin. Hope you to see you all play in the summer.

[joesubscriber]

astonishingly simple and beautiful. Surely the gods are smiling at this music under the Samauma tree. This is my favorite video of recent viewing. I am nostalgic for the forest in Amazonas when I see these men making music under the great tree. Why am I now stuck in the great city of the north?
