| Description: | Ten Jurtbirrk 'love song' items recorded on DV by Bruce Birch at Reggie Brown's house in Minjilang. | |
| This project documents, in as full a cultural context as is possible, the Iwaidja language of the Cobourg Peninsula, Northern Territory, Australia (Iwaidjan language family, non-Pama-Nyungan), still spoken by around 200 people but under increasing threat from English, as well as recording material from other languages of the region (Marrgu, Ilgar/ Garig, Amurdak and Manangkari) which are all reduced to one or two speakers each. In addition to linguists, the research team will include specialists in ethnomusicology, material culture / archaeology, and social anthropology, and will result in a comprehensive, searchable and browsable sound and video documentation, with Iwaidja transcriptions and subtitles alongside English translations, an Iwaidja dictionary of around 5,000 words, detailed phonetic analysis, and briefer materials on other languages of the area. | ||
| This singing session was recorded on DV by Bruce Birch. A total of 10 Jurtbirrk song items were recorded. There was much noise from children dancing and playing. Earlier on the same day another jurtbirrk singing session was recorded with different performers (see IW20040126JU01). | ||
| The song texts are in Iwaidja language. The commentary between songs is in Iwaidja and English. | ||
| Reggie Cooper and David Minyamak led the singing, with Archie Brown and sometimes Jimmy Cooper on didjeridu. Bruce Birch recorded on DV. | ||
| Cookie is a native speaker of Iwaidja, although his father language is Amurdak. His country is on Cobourg and he has an outstation at Black Point. From his description that he was a little boy during the second world war we can assume he was born in the thirties and is now (2003) probably in his late sixties, or around seventy. The name "Cookie" originated from his time as a cook (several years) at Waak. He has no children. It seems he had leprosy as a child. His hands and feet are | ||
