Appearing in its present form at the beginning of the 1930s, this genre drew from older models, such as the trance-dances as practised in temples.
A chorus of men, some forty performers, seated in concentric circles facing towards the centre, where a scene from the Ramayana is played, with the texts declaimed by actors. The chorus itself performs a polyphony of diverse cries and onomatopoeias, wherein the syllables [ke] and [cak] (pronounced "cha") are stylised monkey calls. The result is a varied rhythmic counterpoint, mainly using techniques of hocket, ostinato and off-beat. Synchronisation betwecn the different parts is rigorously directed by one of the members in the chorus, a sort-of conductor whose signals can be clearly heard. There is no place for improvisation, and all the parts, whose number vary during a performance, have been learned by heart.

A heyalo song, by Ulahi and Eyoobo. In Kaluli conception, the two voices do not "follow" one another, but "lift up over" (dulugu molab), in a sort of echoing.
The heyala songs may be performed either during ceremonies or for personal diversion. Composed in the traditional style, for some ceremonies held about 1970, this heyalo is sung here by two women during a pause from work in the gardens.
The text compares some children to doves, flying off, to a distant school, stopping at each village to tell their parents, brothers and sisters : "l won't be coming back".

Melody on harmonics, by Kabyo (son of) Nuwas, using the buzzing of a beetle (fut mwag). The beetle is attached by its legs to a stem, then held in front of the mouth while it attempts to fly away. The insect provides an "instrumental" drone. By modifying the volume of the buccal cavity serving as resonator, the boy selects harmonics to make a melody (an analagous technique to that of the jew'

Voice and flute pilipe, by Mabu. In the first iece, the musician sings in falsetto and blows alternately in the pilipé flute, a small bamboo tube producing a single pitch. The melody as sung has five degrees, all below the fundamental frequency of the flute : with three principal degrees separated by about a tone, and two intermediate degrees, the descending melodic contour imitates the intonation of the spoken language. In the second piece (as from O'28), the musician lets out cries at the same time as sudden bursts of breath into the flute, thus imitating with instrument and voice some vocal techniques, partly yodelled, tyically utilised by a number of performers during a ritual. The text of the first piece is made up of metaphorical expressions concerning an unfaithful wife, whom the singer wishes would return to him

Female voice and flute, by Nang Suy. he musician sings and plays alternately on a flute with two holes pierced near the closed extremities of the bamboo, the embouchure being in the centre of the instrument. Vocal and instrumental sounds mingle continuously in this improvisation. Nang Suy manifestly seeks to imitate the sound of the flute by her voice, such that the vocal and instrumental timbres are hard to tell apart.
The musician sings and plays for personal pleasure, also at village fêtes. Tran Quang Hai, cf. p.50 of booklet

Two men singing each in one tube of bamboo, which act as voice-alterers. The mai spirits are represented by men in masks who hide the bamboo tubes under their costumes. Always paired, the young initiated men wore such masks during a ceremony, which had practicaîly disappeared by the 19605. The text mentions the Sepik River and the floating logs that come down it, as well as men with scarifications. » Hugo Zemp, cf. p.48 of booklet
