| 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 two little girls performing the chant formula ‘yojina yojina.’ The two girls were sitting with the researcher and spontaneously demonstrated their knowledge of the chant to the researcher. |
