'89 part II. Tracks 31-41: From Women in Forest end Jan. '89 (part 1). Just as the men took me out into the forest for music, so a group of women wanted equal time to record their songs and we spent a day in the forest together accompanied by a young man and 3 or 4 teenage boys. They sang limboku songs, as well as gano, boyobi etc. Not only young women, a fair number of older women took part. Tracks 37, 38 & 39 are the actual spear-hunting games they played (gorilla, chimpanzee). Total time: 47 1/2m. Track times: 31) 12m. 32) 5m. 33) 5 1/2m. 34) 4m. 35) 4m. 36) 3 1/2m. 37) 3m. 38) 5 1/2m. 39) 1 1/2m. 40) 1m. 41) 2 1/2m. Women in forest Jan. '89 part II is on DAT 74. END DAT 73'
