Description

On my (DD) last day in the village, people held a singsing festival to send me off. Around dusk, people came up a path yelling and chopping with axes. They cut down a tree they had stood up for this purpose, and then sang for over an hour. I recorded from the outside of the singing circle. DD1-127 through DD1-130 are from the same evening. This forms one recording with DD1-126; the recorder's filesize was exceeded so it broke up the recording.
