Drawn to the rainforests of the Central African Republic by some of the most beautiful singing in the world, New Jersey native Louis Sarno travelled there in 1985 with a one-way ticket, a tape recorder and plenty of batteries. Nearly thirty years later he continues to live with a Bayaka community in and around Yandoumbé, a settlement that he helped found. Ethnomusicologist Noel Lobley has been in contact with Louis for the last eight years, working through his unprecedented collection of over 1000 hours of recordings that document the full range of music-making and soundscapes of a single community of hunter gatherers for more than a generation. Louis continues to donate his recordings, images, and videos to the Pitt Rivers Museum in Oxford, with the longterm intention that his archive will benefit the Bayaka communities.

The video clip shows Louis Sarno talking about Bayaka mbyo (flute) music, and is part of a series of video interviews with Louis that were recorded in April 2012. The mbyo (or mobio) is a beautiful four-note end-blown Bayaka flute that is usually played solo, although very rarely can be heard as duets. The melodic lines are very closely related to the beautiful yeyi, or yodelling, singing of the women. The mbyo resonates under the forest canopy in a very distinctive way such that, at a distance, one player can sound like the singing voices of two women perfectly interlocking. The mbyo is often played at night in the forest when the camp is asleep and it is said that the music is supposed to enter your dreams.
