Description:Tatiana sings several women's songs in front of an audience. The recording was made by Barbara Keifenheim and Patrick Deshayes in 1978 in the village of Balta.
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.
Tatiana performs several songs in front of an audience of women(?).
The songs are performed in Cashinahua. When directing herself to the collectors Tatiana occasionally seems to use Portuguese.
Deshayes is a French anthropologist who at the time of the recordings was Keifenheim's husband.
Tatiana nowadays is between 60 and 65 years old. She lives in the Peruvian Cashinahua village of Santa Rey (information by Camargo). According to Keifenheim, the woman from this recording is much older - possibly a different person with the same name?
The recording in stereo was originally made with a Nagra recording device on a 60-min cassette (Olympia C60) named "Embira/ Reunion 6/8 (Itxabu)". 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 both sides of the cassette are joined into one media file named "Envira_Litxabu_AB_stereo". Since the original recording contains diverse parts the media file needs to be divided into three sessions of which this is the first. The overall recording of the original cassette is of a low quality.
The recording was made with a Nagra recording device.
