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.

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!

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!
