Recordist's notes
On the road on a moto-taxi in Yaoundé, Cameroon. The record is from the roundabout Fokou omnisport to texaco omnisport. It start in a heavy traffic, sound of honk motor and people. Then the driver gain speed. Recorded with a ZoomH1n. I try to keep the mic beetween me and the driver but there is still a bit of wind in the middle of the track.
