Sobre este artículo
Song from the Forest: My Life Among the Ba-Benjelle Pygmies Entranced by a piece of vocal music which he heard on Dutch radio in 1980, Louis Sarno, an American anthropologist, spent hundreds of hours listening to ethnic music in pursuit of its source. He then traveled to the ancient rain-forests of the Central African Republic to seek out its creators, who proved to be pygmies, a people legendary for their short stature and melodic wealth. indulging in meaningful music, Sarno was disappointed to find what seemed to be a lazy, scrounging group, surviving exclusively on tadpoles. Only when he had lived with the Ba-Benjelle pygmies for some time was he allowed to see that this unsavory veneer was in reality covering a culture of extraordinary beauty and spiritual sophistication. He became inextricably involved in their lives - attempting, as he did so, to record their music for posterity, often with hilarious consequences. At the same time, he sought to protect their fragile existence from an increasingly destructive world. Permanently changed by his experience and captivated by a beautiful pygmy girl, he found making his home there a very easy decision. story. - Song from the Forest: My Life Among the Ba-Benjellé Pygmies - Louis Sarno- Pub- Penguin , 1994 , printed in USA set in Aldous.
