Song from the Forest plot

The American Louis Sarno has been living among the Moaka Pygmies in the Central African jungle for 25 years. The Pygmy music he once heard on American radio led him to a rainforest village, where he felt so at home that he settled there permanently. He had his son Samedi, whose mother is a Pygmy, and has since been fully integrated into the village community; he speaks the Yaka language fluently. He keeps an eye on the sick villagers and gets meat from a river rat in exchange for some petroleum. Louis's admiration for the music of the Pygmies is undiminished. He donated the thousand hours of music recordings he collected to an ethnographic museum. Now the time has come to fulfill an old promise to his son: he will take him back to his homeland.
