This Outstanding Piece From Jackie Misfit, London Based Deejay, Producer, Vocalist And Multi-instrumentalist Presents A Harmonic Collision Between Primal Africa And Western Culture. Complex In Its Structure, Based On Polyphonic Singing Technique Called Jodel And Articulated Together With The Dance, Pigmy Music Has Much In Common With Contemporary Dance Music.

To Gain That, Jackie Used A Variety Of Drums, Whistles, Harps, Instruments Built Of Coconut Shells, Animal Skins And Sanza Wood By Pigmies And Vocals Recorded In Congo Rainforest During The Tribal Rituals. Its Crafted In The Western Manner But The Inspiration. Basic Repetitive Patterns, Vocals And Instruments Used In This Production Are Original.
