Baka Gbiné

Musicians from the equatorial rainforest in Africa. Baka Gbiné were formed when Martin Cradick and Su Hart of Baka Beyond travelled to live with them, taking guitars. Over the years since they first went many of the Baka have learned to play, and Baka Gbiné is the band they have formed to take their distinctive brand of music to the wider world. In 2004 and 2005 Martin set up a mobile multi track recording studio under a giant tree.
