On several occasions when we arrived at other camps we would be greeted by
welcome songs. The Baka are very proud of their singing and dancing and
love the opportunity to show it off to others. In such a situation usually
the men would lead the drumming and percussion and the women would lead
the singing. The songs are similar in structure to the "yelli"
but with many more voices and without excluding the men.
LISTEN to the abale
