Biography
Anthropological and ethnomusicological fieldwork
Graduated in Cultural Anthropology from Turin University. He conducts anthropological and ethnomusicological research in Africa: after having studied the music of some Bantu populations of Western Cameroon, he conducted several fieldworks in the Cameroonian rain forest among various groups of Pygmies, like the Baka Pygmies, studying in particular their music, dances, language and rites of initiations. In 2000, during a research mission, he took part into the secret rite of men's initiation to the "Spirit of the Forest", becoming a member of a baka patrilinear clan. During the next years he continued his fieldwork among this pygmy group, and also went among BaKola Pygmies and Bedzan Pygmies in an other area of the rainforest, studying their traditional music and dances. Cultural anthropology, also called social anthropology or socio-cultural anthropology, forms one of four commonly-recognized fields of anthropology, the holistic study of humanity. ...
