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.

Boyobis are Bayaka ceremonies that are often performed before net hunting. Women sing interlocking webs of polyphonic sound to entice the bobé spirits out of the rainforest and bless the forthcoming hunts. Bobé spirits can sometimes be heard speaking in distinctive voices, singing motifs and encouraging the choirs.
