| Description: | Three song items of jalarrkuku 'floating island' songs recorded on DV by Bruce Birch at night at Reggie Cooper's house in Minjilang. Some jurtbirrk songs and ldalha kalajbari songs were sung before and after this manginburru performance. | |
| This project documents, in as full a cultural context as is possible, the Iwaidja language of the Cobourg Peninsula, Northern Territory, Australia (Iwaidjan language family, non-Pama-Nyungan), still spoken by around 200 people but under increasing threat from English, as well as recording material from other languages of the region (Marrgu, Ilgar/ Garig, Amurdak and Manangkari) which are all reduced to one or two speakers each. In addition to linguists, the research team will include specialists in ethnomusicology, material culture / archaeology, and social anthropology, and will result in a comprehensive, searchable and browsable sound and video documentation, with Iwaidja transcriptions and subtitles alongside English translations, an Iwaidja dictionary of around 5,000 words, detailed phonetic analysis, and briefer materials on other languages of the area. | ||
| This session contains 3 jalarrkuku 'floating island' song items in Manangkarri language. The songs are of the ldalha 'sea song' genre. Note this series was previously indexed as 'Maningburru' rather than 'Jalarrkuku'. | ||
| The song texts are said to be in Iwaidja but the words, which are always sung the same, are vocables. This type of song language was described by Bryan Yambikbik in English as 'sing and call', or 'only name'. The discussion between the song items is in Iwaidja and English. | ||
| Archie Brown led the singing, with David Minyamak backing him up, and Reggie Cooper or Jimmy Cooper playing didjeridu. Bruce Birch recorded on DV. | ||

| Cookie is a native speaker of Iwaidja, although his father language is Amurdak. His country is on Cobourg and he has an outstation at Black Point. From his description that he was a little boy during the second world war we can assume he was born in the thirties and is now (2003) probably in his late sixties, or around seventy. The name "Cookie" originated from his time as a cook (several years) at Waak. He has no children. It seems he had leprosy as a child. | ||
| DV tape recorded by Bruce Birch. No mpeg file created, but individual WAV files have been excerpted for each song. | ||
