Description:Four Yanajanak 'stone country' song items followed by eight Kalajbari 'frigate bird' sea songs, recorded on Marantz FlashRam recorder by Bruce Birch in Minjilang. Items 7-8, 9-10 and 11-12 were performed as unbroken stretches of singing and have not been divided in the song files, resulting in a total of 9 song files.
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 11 Yanajanak song items were recorded. There was much noise from children dancing and playing.
The song texts are in Amurdak language. The commentary between songs is in Iwaidja and English.
