Description:		Murrungun manikay sung by Joe Moscow and Terry Gandadila accompanied by Jescoe Dempsey on didjeridu for a public funeral ceremony at Warruwi, 18 October 2006. These Murrungun performers had travelled to Warruwi especially to perform for the funeral ceremony. Most of the Warruwi community was present at the funeral.
		The classical song traditions of Western Arnhem Land are amongst the foremost examples of verbal art in the nine endangered languages of the region, but few people are now competent to perform or comment on them. Typically performed in multi-lingual social contexts, song texts demonstrate unusual linguistic features such as mixtures of languages and a high proportion of esoteric and intimate vocabulary. We will collect, transcribe, translate and analyse song texts and discussions about songs by contemporary performers, and where relevant repatriate and document archival recordings, making our research results available to communities via a network of local digital repositories.

		Joe Moscow is a Djinang man from Maningrida and a singer of Murrungun (Djinang) manikay (Yolngu clan songs).
