Mbuti Pygmies of the Ituri Rainforest

Various Artists

Notes: The music of the Mbuti is primarily focused around vocal music,
and this recording beautifully captures the extraordinary variety and
tonal quality of the solo and choral traditions. The songs are primarily
about the Mbuti's nomadic life and the forest, from which their lives
and those of the animal kingdom are sustained. This compilation set a
new standard for quality ethnic field recordings for all labels in
ethnic music. These prized recordings have been remastered and resequenced
to reflect Dr. Turnbull's original mode: the recording begins in the
forest with music associated with hunting and gathering, then moves to
the village for a Bantu initiation ritual and finally returns to the
forest for the Mbuti rituals. This record documents the music discussed
in the book The Forest People, read by many anthropology classes. A
superbly annotated favorite among world music enthusiasts.
"...[F]rom the moment Colin Turnbull lets the chatter and work rhythms
of the encampment he's approaching engulf the jungle's ambient insect
and bird music, I'm hooked." � The Village Voice
