Description:This is a song about mourning lost loved ones and being hunted performed by Wese, along with the hand-written transcription prepared by Grant and Stalone. This song is traditionally performed as part of a gisala dance, but is here performed in isolation.
This project consists in the documentation of Eibela, also called Aimele (ISO-639 AIL), as part of a PhD project at James Cook University which will ultimately result in a grammar of the language along with a dictionary and a corpus of texts. Eibela is a severely endangered language with 300 speakers in Lake Campbell, Western Province in Papua New Guinea.
Wese and Nicks are Eibela men living in Lake Campbell. Wese is the performer of the song, and Nicks assisted in the translation and transcription of the song. Grant Aiton is a PhD researcher translating the story in order to research the Eibela language.
