The Banda Linda are a small tribe living in Central African Republic. They are part of the Banda people, distinguished by their language called Lindá, a Central Banda language.
They are known for their typical music style, involving long wooden pipes producing a single note. The Italian composer Luciano Berio (1925–2003) defined the community as "highly musical." The French-Israeli ethnomusicologist Simha Arom has described and collected their music.
