Bayaka: The Extraordinary Music of the Babenzele Pygmies and Sounds of Their Foresthome
Bayaka: The Extraordinary Music of the BaBenzele Pygmies is a beautifully-designed one hour long CD/photobook detailing the lives and music of the BaBenzele Pygmies of the central African forest. Bayaka details riveting music through Sarno's writing and photographs, uncovering a hardworking, resourceful, playful and musical culture. Chapters on how instruments are made (vines, hollowed-out longs, skins of animals caught in net hunts), hunting and gathering, extensive track notes and more bring the listener close to these remote forest dwellers.  --Midwest Book Review
