As you are all aware, for over 30 years, Louis Sarno recorded and preserved the BaAka music. Global Voice has been supporting his work since 2002. Since his death, Global Voice joined forces with Radio France and Radio Ndjoku to broadcast the BaAka’s music, which was recorded by Sarno. Thanks to your generosity, we have finally succeeded in this mission, as we have been able to deliver to Radio Ndjoku over 1,000 hours of BaAka music through Pitts River Museum in Oxford, England as well as through Epop and Radio France's Max Bale Epop info.
Since then, we are still committed with Radio Ndjoku to employing two persons, a young BaAka woman, who tells traditional stories and teaches listeners about medicinal herbs. The second person was Louis’ son Samedi, who recently retired to raise his family in the jungle. Therefore, Radio Ndjoku is now looking for a BaAka to replace him!
