Baka Beyond

“. . . if you are not dancing, maybe you should have someone check your pulse.” For over 30 years, Baka Beyond has been blending African and Celtic music into an electrifying mix that’s got everyone dancing! Their music isn’t just about beats; it’s about bridging cultures and spreading joy. The current touring unit are bringing the Spirit of the Forest to festivals in UK and USA. Martin Cradick (guitar), Su Hart (vocals) and Clyde Kramer (drums )have all spent time living and playing music with the Baka Pygmies in their rainforest home. Ayodele Scott (percussion) brings the rhythms and colour of his native Sierra Leone into the mix, while all these elements are grounded by the solid Congolese grooves of Kibisingo (bass) who toured with Kanda Bongo Man for many years. The lineup is completed by fiddle player, Ben Moneypenny bringing a Celtic flair. Baka Beyond Promo 2026 (https://www.youtube.com/embed/X7JeDiKsytY?feature=oembed)
