Big World Festival - Baka Beyond

For over 30 years, Baka Beyond has been blending African and Celtic music into an electrifying mix that gets everyone dancing. Their music transcends mere beats, focusing on bridging cultures and spreading joy. Inspired by the Baka Pygmies of Cameroon, founders Martin Cradick and Su Hart were deeply moved by the Baka’s spirit during their first visit to the Cameroon rainforest, prompting them to share this experience with the world. Their debut album, “Spirit of the Forest,” catapulted them to global fame, yet they have remained true to their roots, ensuring royalties go back to the Baka through their charity “Global Music Exchange”.
