orchéstre baka de gbiné is a musical group composed entirely of people from the baka tribe found deep in the rainforests of cameroon. the baka pygmies spend their whole life in the same forest that is continuously being harvested for wood by several international logging companies. this unfortunate conflict of interest inspired the name of the group - gbiné meaning help.
the group's first album, gati bongo, which was released this past april echoes the baka people's cry for help. thankfully, with help from the global music exchange, a charity based in the uk, all royalties earned from sales of their album are returned back to the tribe.
the album is fantastic and is available on itunes and cduniverse.com. the purchase of this album will support a great cause for a struggling people. give it a listen and a purchase for yourself- help the baka save their home.
