    One helluva party going on at Chief Baonoko's place, with mass chanting and an energised drum ensemble, the Bambuti pygmies playing on borrowed flutes and drums, their songs from the forest, the flute wizard Katsuba Mwongolo, and poetic likembe tunes - this album is undescribable!

about

On the edge of the great Ituri tropical rainforest in 1952, where Mbuti pygmies came out fo the forest to barter meat and honey for manioc and other products with the Nande, Bira, Mangbele and Budu - Bantu peoples living on the edge of the forest. But this was not only the scene of economic interaction, but also of musical interaction!
