Briefly describe how the Forest People use their music-culture to achieve the following:

--Restoring Balance,
--Enacting Values and Creating Self, and
--Autonomy Within Community

What will be an ideal response?


• Their communal singing "wakes the forest," and restores their balance with nature. As their yodels echo "off the trees, the forest physically becomes one of the musicians."
• "Improvised, open-ended polyphony" reinforces cooperation and other communal values while, at the same time, helping individuals "develop identity within a group." (Enacting Values and Creating Self)
• Individuals within the BaAka community stand out; the identity of composers of particular songs and repertories is known, specific teacher-student transmission of the music-culture occurs, and individual performers standout. (Autonomy Within Community)
