- Description
- This song is performed early in the morning, following the day when the Pygmies have moved their camp and havr just completed the making of another. The 'huts' are very primitive shelters made of twigs and leaves and are soon abandoned as the game moves away to other parts of the forest. A small forest bird can be heard at the end of this song. Curative song.
