An hour of absolute musical perfection

[@truBador2]

Thank you. This music is the best.

The human voice, the original musical instrument

[@aidanlogan4384]

Ive been listening to nothing but this lately, it's the most beautiful thing I have ever heard

[@ergioMiran]

It’s actually the closest to what our ancestors sang in the past

[@emilianoturazzi]

@@ergioMiran very unlikely - these men aren't primitives... they are modern ones, contemporary ones, living in our world and with a long story behind them, just as you and me. This music changes and evolves... so it's impossible to think it is primitive (even in a positive sense, as I understand you use it). It is sophisticated and highly evoluted music.

[@bernardtheillaucher9478]

Quel bonheur que de pouvoir avoir accès à cette musique absolument extraordinaire. Merci beaucoup !

[@musicglenn]

a compilation from different albums, including "The Music Of The Ba-Benzélé Pygmies" from 1966 - UNESCO Collection of Traditional Music of the World - An Anthology of African Music - 3. Also tracks from "Central Africa: Musical Anthology of the Aka Pygmies" and tracks from Mboumba Patrice & Mboumba Leontine - "Dialogues Avec Les Esprits" from Gabon - these 2 are from the Bibayak Pygmy group

[@ZitaMeyat]

Okaéhé ! wouwouwouhououou !

[@spectre200x]

Magnifique je me sens voyagé en entendant ces jolies mélodies. Hotep !

[@michaelbrownstein8710]

But that's what this music does (or did) -- it goes on indefinitely. Outside of our clock time prison.

[@serothopaka967]

This is bantu music, pygmy bantu chanting..the second oldest people in the world after the San. This style of song can still be found in traditional music of the Bapedi(bantu also) tribe in the Northern province of South Africa.

Beautiful, mon nom meme cest Bayaka 🙏🏽

[@bicycleetc9436]

A times atonal and devoid of rhythms. Lovely

[@lorton190]

i have gone down a strange rabbit hole but i love that one note flute

[@pranga9]

It could be someone yodeling as they blow I ti a coke bottle

[@Warrenjalex5]

I believe we have the origins of Bobby McFerrin's signature vocalizations.

[@emilianoturazzi]

it is a very well known thing :)

[@HanDrumsolo]

look up the instrument "cuica", i thought it was brazllian in origin but it sounds like they are using a variant here in addition to voices in the first clip

[@unluckywind]

About time we picked up a beat and played

[@rostandhoundji6733]

Wonderful !

[@kathrynmcmorrow7170]

I wish this could go on indefinitely.

[@musicglenn]

i often sleep with "pygmy" music on repeat, serenading me all night

[@lucas.mathias_]

please

[@shawnreed7876]

If you can you should go visit the Aka pygmies. The groups in Bayanga benefit from tourism. I visited groups in both the Central African Republic and the Republic of the Congo and was saddened by what I saw. In the Republic of the Congo many of them have been enslaved by the Bantus and increased awareness of their situation could maybe help them. internationalreportingproject.org/stories/view/slaves-of-the-congo

Sounds like techno at some parts

[@notorio526]

Techno was started by funk producers, funk came from jazz, jazz came from blues, blues came from work songs, works songs came from Africans 😅

[@AJ-wd5xc]

More like techo sounds like the music of Bayaka.

[@matejsteinhauser3974]

r.i.p Louis Sarno and where I can find them, I want to see them, see their ancient village, please show me the map where exactly they live. and I want to live there for a month, I want to be there under a full moon, and wait for a ghosts. show me the ancient village please, and tell me where they live, right where louis sarno was, pretty please

[@shawnreed7876]

I did just that (though not for a month) deep in the Congolese rainforest where there are groups of Bayaka still living the traditional lifestyle. It was interesting to say the least. A more accessible group would be the Aka near Bayanga village in the Central African Republic. If you are not familiar with African travel I recommend using the Sangha Lodge's services who will assist you in getting there. kzbin.info/www/bejne/oWi0oap3fMatqac

[@chouchamayo]

Was this recorded by Louis Sarno? I had a UNESCO recording back in the 60s with these tracks

[@leonsauke7200]

yes, i also

[@chouchamayo]

leon sauke After listening to more of this post, it appears that this is a compilation of several different recordings. Maybe Sarno did record some of these.

[@SolutionPattern]

I think that he did the recordings back then and published it for a library. Afterwards the UNESCO declared it as some kind of world heritage. There is a movie about Louis Sarno called "Song from the forest" ( songfromtheforest.com/ ). Definitely worth to watch

[@musicglenn]

I've found some of this on the CD "The Music Of The Ba-Benzélé Pygmies" from 1966. Starting at 2:20 is the first track "Hindewhu: Solo Whistle"

Can't we give these guys tablets so that they can edit/record their songs, and maybe sell some albums.

[@miraculusladybug9461]

@@mzewhymbona4377 sure but the money they can get with their art can definitely help their community who faces deforestation and are discriminated when they leave the forest
