Birds and Women's Voices

from OKA! by Chris Berry and the Bayaka of Yandoumbe

about

This soundscape has been composed from an original dawn chorus recorded at Bai Hokou. The astonishing birds pattern is complex and regular, and contains a bird species whose song produces a xed tone that usually the Bayaka women imitate and tune to, when singing their gathering songs.
