1985 Idi Cassettes

Description:

Language: Idi Date Recorded: 1985 Location Recorded: Malenka Subject: Customary land demarcation. Verbal record of traditional custodian of land (pre-colonial). Contents: There are 4 recordings in this set, sides A & B of two cassettes. In 1A/B is the subject of the metadata above; cassette 2A/B might be as well. Notes: 1A/B is an edited version of 2A/B. On 2A, a recording of Johnny Cash singing Sister Rosetta Tharpe's "Strange Things Happening Every Day" can be heard during the mic test, either as the sound test material or as pre-existing recording on the tape. This seems to be the work of two Idi speakers- one who is running the 'session' and the other who is providing a monologue. 2B begins with cool girl rock music for the mic check before switching to a radio broadcast (radio PNG?) for only about 5 minutes; the rest of the tape is music, probably a recording made earlier.. Language as given: Idi. You can access this item at the PARADISEC website. You will need to sign up or sign in first.
