| Description: | Thirteen kalajbari 'frigate bird' series of ldalha 'sea songs' genre | |
| 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 13 Ldalha song items spread across two FlashRam recordings (seven items on 20030722LB01, and six items on 20030722LB02). The session was also recorded by Bruce Birch on DV. | ||
| 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. | ||
| The ldalha kalajbari singing was led by Brian Yambikbik with Archie Brown and David Minyamak assisting. Reggie Cooper played didjeridu. Bruce Birch (DV) and Linda Barwick (Marantz FlashRam audio) recorded the session simultaneously. Nick Evans participated in the discussions of the songs. | ||

| 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. | ||
| The first of two WAV recordings made on Marantz FlashRAM recorder by Linda Barwick. The recording includes seven ldalha song items, which have been extracted as separate WAV files. | ||
| The second of two WAV files recorded on Marantz FlashRAM recorder by Linda Barwick. The first section includes six ldalha songs, which have been extracted as separate WAV files. The second part of the recording consists of jurtbirrk songs (see session IW20030722JU). | ||
