Original description
en Recorded in situ. Announcement by J. Dournes. Unpublished sound recordings of instrumental/vocal melodies and instrumental performances made by Jacques Dournes from 1963 to 1964 in Vietnam with the Jarai population.  Playing the monochord fiddle “köni” implies that the musician also produces sounds with his voice: a string attached to the string of the instrument is held in his mouth. He hums through gritted teeth. Recording: 19cm/s, 1/2 Track B. Average sound qualities (barking, cricket cry). See archive file. Archivist(s): Tran Quang Hai, Aliénor Anisensel.

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. 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. Enreg.: 19cm/s, 1/2 Piste B. Qualités sonores moyennes ( aboiement, cri-cri du grillon). Cf. DT; rédacteurs fiche: Tran Quang Hai, Aliénor Anisensel •
