The making of “N’golo n’golo” – hard liquor used to enslave the Baka Pygmies. A film made by Erasmus Nche in association with Global Music Exchange. www.1heart.org The story of Ngolongolo and how it is destroying Baka culture. It is hard liquor, illegally distilled by the neighbouring Bantu farmers. There are now 5 stills on the doorstep of the Baka camp at Gbiné. At first N’golo n’golo is given for free, even to children. The Baka quickly become addicted. It is often used as payment for Baka labour. Once they have had one glass, they want another, which is then given to them. This isn’t a gift, they will have to pay. Since they rarely have cash this means they will have to work until their debt is paid off. In this way many Baka are trapped in debt and basicly have to work for the local farmers for free.
