Baka Music

[edit]

What musical genre does the music sung by the Baka people of Cameroon and Gabon fall under and what other factors help define the musical style? Agreben (talk) 23:16, 9 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Your question is almost impossible to answer. I doubt there is an Western or European analogue for their music - except to possibly call it "ethnic" or "folk". Take gqom for example. If I told you that it's a genre of South African music would you know what it means or sounds like? In a case like this I would just call it Baka. 41.23.55.195 (talk) 07:22, 10 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
What musical genre does the music sung by the Great Lakes people of America and Canada fall under and what other factors help define the musical style? 41.23.55.195 (talk) 07:30, 10 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Forget the "impossible to answer" statement above. The person is clearly wrong. You can find all of your own answers if you use articles like Music of Cameroon and Music of Gabon as a starting point, and explore links and references from those articles. As the Baka are a group of African Pygmies, the article Pygmy music would be an even better starting place.--Jayron32 12:04, 10 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
You may even want to try Baka music. --Wrongfilter (talk) 12:23, 10 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
