Ethnomusicology is a genre that focuses on the study of music from different cultures around the world. The Nonesuch Explorer Series is a collection of recordings that features music from various regions, including Africa, Asia, and the Middle East. Pygmées Aka and Baka Pygmies are two sub-genres within ethnomusicology that feature traditional music from the Pygmy people of Central Africa. These styles are characterized by their use of unique vocal techniques, intricate rhythms, and traditional instruments such as the mbira and the ngombi.
