Baka Beyond is the original afro-celt fusion band. The rhythm and theme of the band is inspired by the music of the Baka People of Cameroon Rainforest but the point in favour of Baka Beyond is the exuberant enjoyment generated by the band, the experience of a live show, the vocals and the dancing.

Since these early beginnings when the term "world music" barely existed, Baka Beyond has evolved into a multicultural, dynamic live stage show with worldwide album sales. Band members have hailed from Brittany, Cameroon, Senegal, Sierra Leone, Congo, Uganda and Ghana as well as Britain. Each musician brings their own influence and talent to the music creating a unique spectacle and honouring a lesson learned from the Baka people, "everyone is to be listened to". The current touring unit are bringing the Spirit of the Forest to festivals in UK, Australia and USA. Martin Cradick (guitar), Su Hart (vocals) and Clyde Kramer (drums) have all spent time living and playing music with the Baka Pygmies in their rainforest home. Ayodele Scott (percussion) brings the rhythms and colour of his native Sierra Leone into the mix, while all these elements are grounded by the solid Congolese grooves of Kibisingo (bass).
