The Meeting Pool is an album by Baka Beyond, released in 1995.[2][3] It was a collaboration between British musicians and the Cameroonian Baka.[4] Martin Cradick, the founder and guitar player for the group, decided to make a second album after the success of the first, Spirit of the Forest.[5]

The album sold more than 50,000 copies in its first year of release.[6] Cradick set up a foundation to distribute royalties to the Baka people, for the songs that were considered traditional.[7]

The album is based on field recordings made in Cameroon in 1994, with Baka percussionists and vocalists; Cradick then took the recordings to the studio.[8][9] Cradick used more Celtic musical styles, compared to the first album.[10]
