Description:		Video of Solomon Ganawa discussing his Mirrijpu 'seagull' songs (in Manangkarri song language) with his wife Naomi Ilakkilak and Isabel Bickerdike. Solomon also sings some of the Mirrijpu songs along with previous recordings.
		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.
		Isabel Bickerdike is a postgraduate student at the University of Melbourne, supervised by Linda Barwick and Nick Evans. She was aged 25 in 2006 and was resident at Warruwi from May-November 2006. She is Ngal-bangardi skin, Wurrik clan (Kun-winjku tribe?, given by Mary Gurden-gurden, this is her mother\'s clan).
		Naomi Ilakkiliak is the wife of Manangkarri songman Solomon Ganawa
		Solomon Ganawa (deceased november 2006) was next-door neighbour to Isabel Bickerdike when she lived at Warruwi in 2006. He received the Mirrijpu songset from his father, who dreamt the songs. His traditional language was Manangkardi, but he used Mawng as his first language. After his death the songs were taken up by his brother Solomon Nangamu, who was recorded singing them at a funeral in Warruwi in April 2007.
