Almost indescribable is Rhythm Tree (March Hare), the latest from Baka Beyond, a "collective" of players from the UK, Cameroon, France, Sierra Leone and Senegal, nominally headed by acoustic guitarist Martin Cradick. BB interlaces music of Cameroon's Baka pygmies with Celtic folk and other African sounds. (And according to the band's website, the Baka performers get paid the same as those in Baka Beyond.) At the risk of coming off as "utopian" (I’m too cynical for that), but Rhythm Tree truly IS world music...inclusive, inspiring, immediate, vital. 12/21/05 >> go there
