520 1 For 31 months between 1979 and 1995, James F. Weiner
conducted anthropological research amongst the Foi people
in Southern Highlands Province, Papua New Guinea. This
book contains the transcriptions, translations, and
descriptions of the songs he recorded. The texts of
women's sago songs (obedobora), men's ceremonial songs
(sorohabora), and women's sorohabora are included. Men
turn the prosaic content of womenís sago songs into their
own sorohabora songs, which are performed the night
following large-scale inter-community pig kills, called
dawa. While women sing sago songs by themselves, men sing
their ceremonial songs in groups of paired men. Women also
have their own ceremonial versions of such songs. The
songs are memorial in intent; they are designed to
commemorate the lives of men who are no longer living.
Most commonly they do so by naming the places the deceased
inhabited during his lifetime. These song texts and
translations are introduced by Weiner. Ethnomusicologist
Don Niles then brings together information about each type
of song and considers these Foi genres in relation to
those of neighbouring groups, highlighting aspects of
regional performance styles. Consideration is also given
to the poetic devices used in Papua New Guinea songs.
Eighteen recordings illustrating the Foi genres discussed
in this book are available for download. It remains
uncertain how such songs may be affected by the major oil
extraction project that has been undertaken in the region
for more than two decades. This book will interest
students of anthropology, ethnomusicology, linguistics,
verbal art, aesthetics, and cultural heritage.
