- Description: The local popular name for these Pygmies is "Batikitiki". Like other groups of pygmies they are very much at the mercy of the Bantu tribes who live outside on the edges of their portion of the Ituri forest. They exchange meat and honey from the forest for grain and other food stuff, but as often as not are robbed of their efforts by exploiting Africans. The musical instruments used by these Pygmies are those borrowed from teh Bantu outside the forest. Drums, especially, would be too heavy and cumbersome for the Pygmies to carry into the forest with them, or keep in their flimsy camps. Party song with 2 conical, laced drums and 1 basket rattle.
