| Description: | Eleven Mirrijpu (seagull) dreaming songitems. The song-set was received in dream by the father of Solomon Ganawa, the present singer. Although in unintelligible 'spirit' language, the songs are said to be in Manangkarri language (belonging to Malarrkuku people of Goulburn Island), the patrilineal language of Ganawa. Nobody now speaks Manangkarri, and descendants of Manangkarri speakers now identify as Mawng. | |
| 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. | ||
| Solomon Ganawa is an elderly man whose father dreamt the Mirrijpu song-set. | ||
| Micky Yalbarr is a well-known didjeridu player resident at Warruwi. He is relatively young (estimated by LB to be in his 30s in 2006). | ||
| Matthew O'Keeffe is the pilot resident at Warruwi and a friend of Solomon Ganawa. From time to time he can be heard during this session talking to Solomon. | ||
