Love it - Can some of you kind Baka Beyond people tell me if this is played on a particular tuning - any tablature knocking about for it - ta.

[bakabeyond]

@hashapeler They're all playing standard tuning. Come along to one of our Baka camps and I'll show you how to do it

Congratulations for getting such good sound with the endless acoustic pitfalls that you would encounter in the forest. Very nice for the world to see the musical joy of the baka people.

@joelche The sound on this film is straight off the camera! The whole film is completely unedited and 1 take, so I was impressed by the mics on the high end consumer panasonic camera. I probably EQ'd it, but can't remember to be honest. the Baka will always get a really good balance amonst themselves so are a joy to record. I'll be back there within 2 weeks!! (Away from this cold, back to the warm tropical heat)
