Baka Beyond

Founded by Martin Cradick after a 3 month visit to Cameroon with singer wife, Su Hart. There they lived and played music with a tribe of Baka Pygmy hunter-gatherers deep in the rainforest.

This trip inspired the award winning debut album, "Spirit of the Forest" in 1993 which led to the formation of the live band.

The rhythms of the Baka from the Cameroon rainforest somehow resonate in many culture's music. Baka Beyond use this to bind together the music of different cultures and genres into one vibrant sound.

After 18 years of mixing African and Celtic music in equal measures Baka Beyond have become one of the finest danceable bands, creating the sound of the global village.
