The Avatime project aims to describe and document Avatime. The researchers involved in this project are Rebecca Defina and Saskia van Putten. The project included fieldwork in Ghana in 2008 and was completed in 2009. Outcomes of the project are: (1) audio and video recordings of different genres, of which 13,5 hours have been transcribed and annotated, (2) an Avatime-English wordlist, (3) grammar notes and (4) two Master's theses, one on the expression of motion in Avatime (Saskia van Putten) and one on aspect and mood in Avatime (Rebecca Defina).
Sammy interviewed Buafo about the process of installing a new chief. Buafo explains things very detailed, the whole interview takes half an hour.
The interview took place in Avatime.
Sammy recorded the interview himself, Rebecca and Saskia were not present. The interview has been transcribed by Fo Yao and Saskia and annotated in ELAN by Saskia.

Buafo Buama grew up and lives in Vane.
The recording was made using a Marantz PMD flash recorder. The recording is mono, 16 bit and 48 kHz.
