Description: | Songs from the itpi-itpi song set composed by David Gameraidj, performed by Dick Gameraidj, Kevin Gameraidj, Ronnie Waraludj (singers) and Sam Namaruka (didjeridu). The songs belong to the love-song genre. Most songs are in Kun-winjku (Gunwinggu) but some include Mawng and Kunbarlang language.The recording was made outside the visitors quarters at Minjilang, Northern Territory, by Linda Barwick, and Isabel Bickerdike made a simultaneous video recording (not included in this session). Women dancing included Roseanne Gameraidj, Mary Gorden-Gorden, Margaret Marranggu, and Margaret Malingarr. | |
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. | ||
