Abatwa (The Pygmy) - Why Did We Stop Growing Tall?

Rough-hewn, tribal sonics from the Rwandan borderlands. One-string violins/ 11-string harps/ mbiras/ haunted solo & duo singing/ battery operated loop machines. The Abatwa (pygmy) are one of Africas most endangered peoples and the otherworldly music on this album reflects the precariousness of their situation. Produced by Ian Brennan (Hanoi Masters & Khmer Rouge Survivors) this in the fourth installment in Glitterbeats Hidden Musics series.
