Comment

Flores island, Kabupaten Flores Timur, Kecamatan TANJUNG BUNGA, desa Waiklibang (Keywords): harvests - polyphony - counterpoint Agrarian song. A duet song, the Najan song, one of the most valued songs. Several pairs of singers recite verses relating to Tono Wujo, the deity of rice, a young woman sacrificed to give her body as food. Unequal according to the pairs. In-context recording is weak compared to ritual out-of-context recording. See film extract cassette 20, 21, 22. See publications. •
