Baka music

Baka music is the music of the Baka people from the southwestern Central African Republic. Most Baka music is vocal and polyphonic. It is based on repetitive melody and rhythm, with few variations and consists of improvisation. Music and dance are important to them. They are used to prepare for a hunt or show a skill. Music is also used in daily life for healing rituals, initiation rituals, traditional stories, group names, and entertainment. Dance and music help bring groups together. This helps people become friends while they share their survival techniques.
