Description:Audio recording and transcription/translation of John Kris Hinduwan telling the story of a man who was very talented at beating the garamut drums. Synopsis: There was a man who was very good at beating the drums, and he wanted his son to follow in his footsteps. He gathered all the people from all the islands and they watched his son play the drums. Everyone was dancing and dancing to the beat of his drums and the father told everyone that his son would keep playing until they told him to stop. They danced on and on, through the night and into the next day, even though the boy was getting tired. This went on for three weeks, with the boy drumming and the people dancing, only stopping to eat and sleep. Three of the women — one from the islands and two from the mainland — fell in love with him because of his prowess at drumming and dancing, and they raced to his house. When the boy went back to his house to change, he was surprised to find the three women waiting for him. He consulted their parents, who were happy for him to marry their daughters, so he married all three of them.
