CHRIS BERRY – MUSIC Chris Berry is a California native who discovered his passion for African music in private study with a Congolese drummer, Tiro Sampa. At 19, he accompanied his teacher home to Brazzaville, Congo. His fascination with mbira (thumb piano) music soon led him to Zimbabwe where he settled and studied under mbira master Monderek Muchena for ten years. Berry became one of the first westerners to be accepted among the elder mbira masters and to earn the title of Gwenyambira or “one whose music calls the spirits.” Berry has achieved international recognition as a master dancer and musician of the mbira and the ngoma drum of the Shona people of southern Africa. Chris married a Zimbabwean woman and together formed the banD Panjea in 1991, which successfully toured until four members died in Zimbabwe’s AIDS epidemic. Yet the band’s legacy lives on as Chris continues to work with the surviving members and to promote the Panjea Foundation for Cultural Education established in 1998 to facilitate music education and cultural exchange. His record sales have reached platinum album levels in southern Africa. In composing the score for OKA!, Barry spent over two weeks performing night and day with various combinations of over one hundred Bayaka pygmies from Yandombe village in the Central African Republic. His co-musicians ranged in age from three to 90 years old. He then returned home to integrate over one hundred hours of recordings. With the help of musicologist Louis Sarno who has lived with the Bayaka for over 25 years, Berry showcased their unique musical genius that integrates powerful human emotions and intuition into an elaborate 64-beat musical code unique to forest people. Berry performed as a special guest on Paul Winter’s 2005 Grammy Award winning album, Silver Solstice, and is currently collaborating with Winter on a new album, Rhythm Quest, that features songs
ecorded in 20 different countries. When not on tour, he divides his time among Africa, Hawaii and New York City. CONRAD W. HALL – DIRECTOR OF PHOTOGRAPHY Conrad W.
