and at the Yahoo Store there are some WAV files of four tracks on the CD "Baga Guine" by a 16 piece female group of Baga ladies that were discovered in the National Percussion Competition in Guinea in 1989. The group has made it a point of honor to keep Baga traditional dances, songs and rhythms alive. Their songs evoke the great moments in the life of Baga women. |
