Gbanga-Tita

Lengé is a Baka pygmee. Among his people, in the Equatorial Forest of South-East Cameroon, Lengé is a tale-teller. He knows the stories of the beginning of the world and the melodies of Tibola, the white elephant. He saw the bird Fofolo, flying after the sun's rays. Deep from the distant ages, Lenge's face and voice recall Gbanga-Tita, God's calabash. "There was the river, the forest and the children..." He is the last tale-teller in this part of the forest.
