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

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

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

  • 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.

  • The polyphony in this culture is amazing!

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

  • 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 !!!

  • 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!

  • @olokun80 you probably will
