Louis Sarno's notes on liner card (ms ink) – 'LIMBOKU '93, '94. 55'

Louis Sarno's notes on liner card (ms ink) – 'Tracks 1-3: from Limboku night 6 May 1993 at Yandoumbé. I do not remember what the occasion for this limboku was - if indeed I ever knew the occasion. I recorded from the middle distance (i.e. the women were grouped in front of a house not too far from mine, so my microphones set up outside my doorway were a lot closer to this limboku than they were to the limboku with which DAT 54 ends. Total time: 54 1/2m. 1) 7 1/2m. 2) 18m. 3) 28 1/2m, end Limboku 6 May '93 Yandoumbé. Tracks 4-15: from Limboku night 13 August 1994 at Moboi hunting camp. This Limboku was performed by young teenage girls one night for no particular reason but the sheer joy of it. I stuck my microphone out in front of my hut and recorded from inside. Total time: 39m. Track times: 4) 3m. 5) 3 1/2m. 6) 1m. 7) 2m. 8) 5m. 9) 6m. 10) 5 1/2m. 11) 1/2m. 12) 3m. 13) 2 1/2m. 14) 4 1/2m. 15) 2 1/2m, end Limboku girls 13 Aug. '94 Moboi. Tracks 16-19: from Limboku noon 24 Sept. '94. at Yandoumbé. This was for the death of an old woman (mother of a man named Dimba). A large group of women crowded into the deceased woman's house and sang Limboku. With their permission I set up microphones inside for a few minutes and recorded from outside. Total time (tracks 16-19): 21 1/2m. Track times: 16) 1m. 17) 1 1/2m. 18) 3m. 19) 16m, end Limboku at noon 24 Sept. '94 Yandoumbé. Track 20: forest scene, noon 2 June 1996 in primary forest.
