fr Enregistrement en situation. Annonce par J. Dournes. Le jeu de la vièle monocorde "köni" implique que le musicien produit également des sons avec sa voix: une ficelle fixée à la corde de l'instrument est retenue par sa bouche. Il chantonne les dents serrées. Enregistrements sonores inédits de mélodies instrumentales/vocales et de jeux instrumentaux effectués par Jacques Dournes de 1963 à 1964 au Vietnam auprès de la population jaraï.
