- Summary:
- The video clip shows Louis Sarno talking about Bayaka women’s lingboku music, and is part of a series of video interviews with Louis that were recorded in April 2012. Bayaka women's lingboku songs are powerful celebrations of female strength and sexuality. The songs often mock male weakness and impotence, and the men often resist and compete with the songs to stop them happening. Lingboku songs have their own spirit, which can be seen rather than heard.
