Baka Beyond set up the charity Global Music Exchange (GME), named "One Heart" by the Baka Women in 1995. GME makes sure that any royalties due to Baka musicians either goes direct to them, or is used in projects that they have control of.
GME also works to encourage people to value their traditional music and dance in a world where both religion and modern fashion are doing their best to wipe it out. See the GME SITE
In January 2010 GME organised the "Under the Volcano" Festival of traditional Music & Dance in Limbe,Cameroon.
