Su Hart (born 3 September 1959) is a British musician, as of 2006[update] living in Bath, UK, and vocalist of the band Baka Beyond which was formed in 1992, when she and her partner, guitar, mandolin and bouzouki player Martin Cradick (formerly of the group Outback) travelled to south-east Cameroon to live with the Baka tribe (hunter-gatherer Pygmies) in the rainforest and record their music. The band was inspired by the Baka,[1] "one of the oldest and most sensitive musical cultures on earth".[2]
