4.0 out of 5 stars
More than just anthropology.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Music of the Rain Forest Pygmies: The Historic Recordings Made By Colin M. Turnbull (Audio CD)
This is the perfect companion to Colin Turnbull's "The forest people", a anthropology reader, popular in the sixties. Turnbull lived with the pygmies in the fifties where he made these recordings. If you enjoy being transported in time and culture or if you like music in its rawest form then you will enjoy this CD.Pygmy Music is perhaps best described as bursts of harmonic yoldeling, intertwining in a dynamic, rhythmic fashion. It could be quite hypnotising and the enviromental forest setting makes the overall effect fascinating. For example the thunder clap in the Elephant Hunting Song brings the song to an end and chatter from the participants. In the Leaf Carrying Song girls sing a few improvised lines followed by a chorus, which breaks off sharply so they can listen to the echo. The silence, the twitter of birds, the faint echo. Some fascinating listening and a great supplement to the book.

This review is from: Music of the Rain Forest Pygmies: The Historic Recordings Made By Colin M. Turnbull (Audio CD)
The cd is very good although I think some of the music is staged for the white man and not really truly trible orignal.
