Description: | This session captures the performance of an Ayahuasca ritual which took place next to the river in the evening. Only men participated in the ritual. There are several singers of Ayahuasca songs. The main singer was René Shuarez (Torres). The recording was made by Barbara Keifenheim in the village of Balta (Ucayali/ Peru) in 1978. | |
This interdisciplinary project aims at the documentation of Cashinahua language and culture. The Cashinahua language community currently consists of about 6000 members living in several villages with 10 indigenous homelands in the Brazilian state of Acre, and about 1600 members living in 37 villages in Peru. Most members of the speech community are bilingual, either speaking Portuguese or Spanish as a second and in some cases (in Brazil) as a first language. The project is funded for the years of 2006 to 2009 by the VolkswagenStiftung in the Documentation of Endangered Languages Programme. The linguist Eliane Camargo initiated her research among the Brazilian Cashinahua in 1989 and continued to work with the Peruvian Cashinahua in 1994. The anthropologist Philippe Erikson started to work in 1985 with the Matis, another Brazilian Pano group, and in 1993 with the Chacobo, a Pano group living in Bolivia. The linguist Sabine Reiter who previously worked in another Dobes-Project started her research among the Cashinahua in 2006. | ||

Deshayes is a French anthropologist who at the time of the recordings was Keifenheim's husband. | ||
The recording in stereo was originally made in 1978 with a tape recorder on a 90-min cassette (BASF90, ferro super LH) named "ayahuasca1978". The cassette was digitalized in high quality (48kHz, 16bit) and transferred to a DVD named "Cashinahua Audiokassetten Teil I" at the MPI for Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig in January 2008. On the DVD the recording is divided into two parts named "ayahuasca_1978A" and "ayahuasca_1978B". The two parts of the media file correspond to the two sides of the cassette. These are the time positions of "ayahuasca_1978A". The sound of the original recording is partially very low when the singer is further away from the microphone which was fixed at one position during the recording. The recording of "ayahuasca_1978A" stops in the middle of a song. | ||
