A Pygmy church choir is led by a Bantu tribesman.

Pygmies have no land rights. The colonizing Belgians assigned land rights to residing ethnic groups and this still holds. Because Pygmies are nomadic and had no chiefs, they did not receive land rights. Pygmies are at the bottom of the social caste system—they have no power. Strong ethnic groups still have strong land rights.
