On my recent trip to Africa, I got to spend 24 hours living with the pygmy tribe in the middle of the rainforest in the Central African Republic. I had permission from the chief to visit, and it was a wonderful and eye-opening experience! If you find this story interesting, please share it with your friends!

Meet the forgotten #Batwa 'pygmy' people of #Burundi, #Rwanda, #Uganda and #DRC. They are keepers of the forest and are semi-nomadic hunter-gatherers of the mountain forests. The Batwa are the original inhabitants of Great Lakes region in East Africa before the Bantus arrival. #Africa | Africa.com

At village festivals, the Baka pygmies perform energetic dances accompanied by drums, singing, and clapping. The women and men dance in a circle, celebrating nature, hunting, and the unity of the group. #inspirationofafrica | Quim Fàbregas

The dances of the Baka pygmies are collective and spontaneous, usually performed in circles, accompanied by polyphonic chants and wooden drums. They are performed to celebrate hunting, community, or forest rituals, incorporating agile movements and leaps that mimic nature and animals. #inspirationafrica | Quim Fàbregas
