Liner notes in english and french:

Between 1955 and 1970, the Belgian film-maker Marcel Thonnon went on several missions to central Africa, particularly to trhe former Belgian Congo and former Zaire. During his expeditions he had many opportunities to record the songs, music and dance of tribes living far from the country's towns and cities, including the Azande, the Mangbetu and the Bambuti Pygmies, all of which are to be heard on the recording he presents here.
