Baka Beyond at The Cornish Bank, Falmouth
Baka Beyond have spent three decades weaving together the music of the Baka Pygmies of Central Africa with Celtic traditions, and the results are hard to sit still to. The current band brings together musicians with deep roots across Congo, Sierra Leone, and the UK folk scene, with several members having lived and played alongside the Baka in the rainforest. Expect percussion, bass grooves, fiddle, guitar, and vocals all working together in a sound that feels both global and grounded. The Cornish Bank in Falmouth makes for an intimate setting for a band that thrives on close-quarters energy.
