Description:Discussion of Alekarenge, Arnerre, Taylor Crossing area. Follows on from F107 and F108.Same as F116. Not clear whether it was recorded in 1976 or 1981. This is much better recording than 116. Possibly also Long Jack. Also rain making songs.
The classical song traditions of Western Arnhem Land are amongst the foremost examples of verbal art in the nine endangered languages of the region, but few people are now competent to perform or comment on them. Typically performed in multi-lingual social contexts, song texts demonstrate unusual linguistic features such as mixtures of languages and a high proportion of esoteric and intimate vocabulary. We will collect, transcribe, translate and analyse song texts and discussions about songs by contemporary performers, and where relevant repatriate and document archival recordings, making our research results available to communities via a network of local digital repositories.
Use when an as-yet unidentified songset is performed during the session.
Birth Date is approximate
Worked for the Central Land Council ca. 1980 and worked with Alyawarr people on the Wakaya/Alyawarr Land Claim. Recorded songs in the course of this work.
