Title: Bamboo trumpet performance by Biittso Its'into, Worada Gebiro and Shawayye Tebejje

Description: The bamboo trumpet trio of the musicians Biittso Its'into, Worada Gebiro and Shawayye Tebejje play three "wedding trumpets" and three "mourning trumpets" (see photo linked to this session). The bamboo trumpet is called zayá in Baskeet. The longest trumpet, zoohá, is played by Biittso (on the right), the leading trumpet, késá, by Worada (in the middle), and the shortest trumpet, ádá, by Shawayye (on the left). This particular trio was formed by the Culture Office of the Basketo Special Woreda to represent Baskeet at national cultural events. Usually a trumpet trio has only members from the potter clans, Shawayye is, however, a member of a non-potter clan. At weddings and mourning ceremonies in Baskeet Biittso and Woreda usually play together with another musician. File 001 is a piece played at the bride's home before she leaves (label: Issi zaya I). File 002 is a piece played on the way when taking the bride to her husband (label: Issi zaya II). File 003 is a piece played at the husband's house upon arrival (Issi zaya III). File 004 is a piece played in the morning of the first day of mourning (zháara galass), it was characterised as Baskeet woysa ('Baskeet bamboo flute') and dooyibaaso by the musicians (label: Yeepi zaya I). File 005 is a piece played on the second day of mourning (késí galass) when groups of people walk in processions (kórz) to the deceased person's home, assemble in the front yard of the deceased, when men step forward to kick their shields and vibrate their spears (label: Yeepi zaya II). File 006 is a piece played on the second day of mourning when the participants in the mourning ceremony drink their mourning beer (shóc) (Label: Yeepi zaya III). Traditionally, the trumpet trio plays from time when the corpse is transferred to the mortuary (gaapí keetts) up to the end of the second morning day. The contexts at which the bamboo trumpet is played are elaborated on in the interview with Biittso Its'into and Worada Gebiro in session BI2012-01-21_002.

Description: Baskeet is spoken by around 60,000 speakers at the fringes of the Ethiopian highlands in the Southern Nations, Nationalities and Peoples' Region of Ethiopia. It is an Omotic language. This collection will focus on the linguistic and ethnographic documentation of endangered literary genres in Baskeet, namely songs, poems, prayers and ceremonial speech, which are being abandoned in the course of rapid socio-cultural changes. The collection will include, firstly, a multi-media documentation (text, audio, video) of these culturally emblematic endangered domains and, secondly, form a contribution to longer-range extensive documentation of Baskeet, with a dictionary at its core.
