Reminds me of the great Bob Harris. They were one of his favourites. He used to play this album a lot on his Saturday night program. This was pre RP of course!
RIP Whispering Bob!
Takes me back to days lost in Africa on my motorbike after quitting corporate slavery. I guess it wasn't slavery if I could quit... but it certainly felt like it!
African music is an acquired taste for a westerner but if you are exposed to it long enough, you get it.
Well, thanx to RP, I GET IT!!! GREAT TUNE! Thank You RP!

They're still going strong. I've seen them thrice. Twice in a packed to bursting-at-the-seams pub in Oxford in the early 00s and more recently in our village hall (lots of folk acts go through here including the likes of Fairport).
Well worth a watch, and amusing to see a group of surprised looking west-country pensioners dancing away to a kind of music they didn't know they liked!
your village sounds most excellent!

Aside: IMO this is particularly true in the case of young musicians who push the boundaries of their cultural influences and can bring fresh excitement to those of us overly set in our ways.
Very true, just yesterday the kid next door was playing some "garage" in his bedroom!
This is cool... love it...
..somehow still cool..

Cause some folks like it... You can always go to Pandora or Spoify and listen to -you- music ...altho to me that's like drinking ones own bathwater... RP adds new, old, different and keeps changing... That's why -I- like it... I never know what's coming...and I have spent a few hundred on CDs from the experience... I like new stuff...even if it's just Nu2Mi...
I agree with AndyJ here; well said!

Definitely Sting was influenced by African music, like the vocals in this piece.
Normally I don't like yodeling (if this is what it is) but I do like this.

Except that this came out 9 years before that song (see Spirit of the Forest Info vs Deep Forest Release Date)
So maybe Deep Forest sounds a little too much like Baka Beyond.
Actually, I'm a little embarrassed to admit this, but Jmaxi is right. I used to listen to this genre a lot...not 100% my choice. I remember when both came out. This came out in '93. Deep Forest's first album, which sounds very much like this, was released in '92 (US release in '93). The album you mentioned above was Pacifiique, it didn't come out until the end of 2000.
If anyone was copying anyone it was Baka Beyond, copying Deep Forest.

Just a two-week vacation would be fine with me...
The only thing lacking here is the ability to mute/ignore posters like you so that they disappear and disturb us never again.
I want whatever it is you ingested!

I believe that is clapping and drumming. I don't think African Pygmies have a lot of access to tap shoes.

Apparently they found an electric bass...
4 x 2 = 8! The second listen is always beneficial, i think.

There isn't much deep rainforest left in Africa, it's all been cut down.
Not when I last looked. Plenty of wilderness left. OK not what it once was, but there are still many wonderful expanses of forest.
Can't make up my mind about this music. Bit wallpapery. Suppose I might get a bit more work done. Oh damn, I won't because I'm typing this...

Actually, that's not the problem — it's just that tap shoes don't make much sound on the jungle floor...

Yodeling- "In Alpine folk music, it was probably developed in the Swiss Alps as a method of communication between mountain peaks, later becoming part of the region's traditional music."
I suppose pygmies yodel too as a means of communication in the deep rainforest.

This is just okay.
wow that seems like a slap in RP's face after bring the music to ya, sure I would enjoy more african music but damn sure haven't heard any other station playin' it, think ya could be lil more apreciate, TY Bill I enjoyed it
I was able to see them a few years ago, and found their live show to be quite excellent! I think a bit more energetic than the studio work. I loved it!
I saw them in a small bar in Seattle... Fabulous!!
This is just okay.
That's tap dancing? Whaddaya know!
This song always makes me feel like going for a ride in a horse drawn carriage.
Perhaps that due to the outdoor stage — as I haven't seen them in a decent venue yet.
Good group.
