Coverage:Peru
Date:1978
Description:The session contains Katxanawa ritual singing performed by a group of men. The recording was made by Barbara Keifenheim and Patrick Deshayes in 1978 in the village of Balta. It is an original Katxanawa performance, not made on request.
This interdisciplinary project aims at the documentation of Cashinahua language and culture. The Cashinahua language community currently consists of about 6000 members living in several villages with 10 indigenous homelands in the Brazilian state of Acre, and about 1600 members living in 37 villages in Peru. Most members of the speech community are bilingual, either speaking Portuguese or Spanish as a second and in some cases (in Brazil) as a first language. The project is funded for the years of 2006 to 2009 by the VolkswagenStiftung in the Documentation of Endangered Languages Programme. The linguist Eliane Camargo initiated her research among the Brazilian Cashinahua in 1989 and continued to work with the Peruvian Cashinahua in 1994. The anthropologist Philippe Erikson started to work in 1985 with the Matis, another Brazilian Pano group, and in 1993 with the Chacobo, a Pano group living in Bolivia. The linguist Sabine Reiter who previously worked in another Dobes-Project started her research among the Cashinahua in 2006.
The session contains some ritual singing belonging to the Katxanawa ritual.
The men participating in the Katxanawa performance are inhabitants of Balta. One of the main characters is Nonato, father of Milton and the only Cashinahua at that time who knows six dewe (songs sung by men in a more archaic variety of the Cashinahua language containing Quechua elements).
The recording was originally made in XXX with a tape recorder on one side of a 90-min cassette (BASF90, ferro super LH) named "Catshawa - Tetepui - Bingo". The cassette was digitalized in high quality (48kHz, 16bit) and transferred to a DVD named "Cashinahua Audiokassetten Teil I" at the MPI for Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig in January 2008. On the DVD the media file is named "Katxa_Txidin_NixiPae_A". Only the first part of the media file belongs to this session.
