Overview

Abstract:: This song was recorded during a demonstration in 1975. In his dissertation, Koetting notes the potential value in organizing musical demonstrations with various groups and individuals throughout his field research in Ghana. He argues that the performance context surrounding many Kasena musical activities--at funerals, drinking spots, and festivals--often inhibits the making of good (i.e., clear, upclose, uninterrupted) quality music recording for teaching and research.
Notes:: Instrumentation: wui (3), gulbala (2), gulsara, gulling, gungonga, voices; Place of recording: Kayoro; Performance history: performance-demonstration; Tape location: Reel 126, Track 01
