@thebrolesstraveled: A Day in the Life #centralafricanrepublic Singing holds a deeply spiritual, social, and functional role in Bayaka (also spelled BaAka or Aka) culture. The Bayaka are a group of Central African rainforest hunter-gatherers, often referred to as “Pygmies,” though that term is now considered outdated or pejorative by some. They live primarily in the Congo Basin, in countries like the Central African Republic, Republic of the Congo, and parts of Cameroon. One of the most unique and remarkable features is polyphonic singing, where multiple independent vocal lines are interwoven. This often involves hocketing — where each person sings a short, interlocking part, and together they form a complex, harmonious melody. This technique creates a sound that is both intricate and deeply hypnotic. What do you think of their singing ? #travel #photooftheday #instadaily #picoftheday
