TRADITIONAL MUSIC
This disco/hip hop compact, orchestrated with rhythm box and synthesizer, is an entertaining collage of fragments of Baka songs from Cameroon, songs front Burundi and Senegal, and Pygmy songs originally collected by two musicologists, Hugo Zemp and Shima Aron. purists may take umbrage, but these tracks lay no claim to be anything more than music to dance to. At the same time they are, indirectly, a tribute to the creativity of the singers of the African forests, anonymous masters of rhythm and forerunners of hip hop, who have previously inspired several Western musicians, notably Herbie Hancock and Philip Glass.
