A masterpiece of the UNESCO series, documenting a polyphonic ensemble of the Banda people, one of the main ethnic groups of the Central African Republic. Among the best is B3 "Suite For The Mbaya Ensemble", a free ensemble of giant horn-like instruments called "Ongo", percussion,flutes,etc., other tracks include like a orchestral symphony A1 "Music For Ongo Ensemble, Eighteen Horns And A Pair Of Jingles", which is over 10 minutes long, A2 "Music For Dancing, Gboyo Two Lenga" with percussion rhythm. Amazing!
