I've posted this on FB about a week ago.

Anyway, the music that soundtracks this footage is great!

Here's some info about it on this WFMU blog post:

I'll soon be the owner of the bootleg 7'' of it that came out a couple of years ago.

but yeah, great little film, i remember it fondly. an explosion of style.

Amazing that it's from 1949. Jack Smith must've had a eureka moment seeing that.

There's a version going around with this really evil African tribal music on it. I think it's from King Kong. I love the songs on the original but this other soundtrack really changes the whole mood of it. Not necessarily better but definitely different. Indescribable really. Far more intense. Scary. More like a ritual. If I ever see it on youtube I'll link it. It'a a real must see.
