Synopsis
Product Description
This collection is devoted to the music of the Pygmy women of northern Congo. Yeli is the most distinctive chant of Pygmy women. It is characterized by the meandering counterpoint of its polyphony and its difficult yodeling technique. This music is an omnipresent emblem of their identity, translating the way Pygmies conceive of the world and their community.
