"Nawa" live in the Cameroon rainforest

http://www.baka.gbine.com to hear rest of album, "Gati Bongo". This is a film of the recording of the track "Nawa" in the rainforest of Southeast Cameroon while a strange forest spirit dances.
If you buy the album, money will go back to these musicians to help them both exist in the modern world and preserve their traditions in the forest.

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).

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

There's a link in the expanded description.

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!
