| Description | This recording was made during a community-wide feast in the Nanti community of Montetoni on the Camisea River in southeastern Peru. During feasting, participants form groups and chant together for many hours. Group chanting is characterized by fixed formulas, which the whole group chants, combined with extemporaneous poetry, which is intercalated with the formulas by individual performers. This is a recording of extemporaneous poetry (xarintaa) performed by an adult woman, Sonya, and addresses the relationship between herself, her spouse, and the researchers (Beier and Michael). The content of the xarintaa is directed toward Michael who is sitting with her. The researcher performs the chant formula, ‘yojina yojina’ with her as is appropriate. |
