fr Enregistrements sonores inédits réalisés en Indonésie (West Kalimantan) en 1997 par Dana Rappoport, auprès des populations Dayak Taman, Iban, Kayan Mendalam. Trois Chanteurs hommes:
Abang Pulo', 58 ans (ou 43?)
Yohanes Tantang, 40 ans,
Herculanus Kapat, 40 ans
timang soak, Chant masculin (= manggin pour les femmes): Chant rituel alterné, louange
1 leader mène et les autres répondent. Le leader semble imroviser ("radio, rakam, tana orang putih). La mélodie est belle. Les to maloi ("ceux qui suivent") ont des voix plutôt laides. Ce qui est beau est le tuilage. Quand ils finissent, Pulo reprend une phrase.
