Listen to the Mbuti Luma Pipes

On The Edge of The Ituri Forest, 1952 restores Mbuti pygmy singing to its rightful place in recorded folk music after the 90's annoying, deeply forested sampling spree. But it goes much further, exploring other musical worlds in what was then the Belgian Congo. Mudumbu and Nande music for the likembe ("thumb piano"), Budu horns and drummers show the expansiveness of the region's music, and Mbuti pipers recorded here perform a hocketed melody that is intense.

Please note!
Most CDs have been
imported from Europe or Asia.
They are not all
shrink-wrapped, and I am not
going to con you by wrapping them
here just to make you think they
have been sterilized in America.
We guarantee that the CDs and the
contents are all brand new and in
perfect condition. Whenever I
can, I use recycled shipping
materials. They may not look as
pretty on the outside, but they save
money and keep the trash dumps a
little bit emptier.
