After 16 years of mixing African and Celtic music in equal measures, Baka Beyond have become one of the finest danceable bands, creating the sound of the global village. Not just a touring band, Baka Beyond have a unique relationship with their inspiration - the Baka Pygmies of Cameroon - sending royalties to help their development projects, and even touring with Baka musicians. Baka Beyond was founded in 1992 after British musicians Martin Cradick and Su Hart had visited the Baka Pygmies of the Cameroon rainforests. So inspired were they by their magical rhythms and melodies that they recorded an album "Spirit of the Forest" under the name Baka Beyond which pushed them into worldwide recognition.
