TRACK 19 (Mar97-04-s03) Song 13: Naya Rradja Bangany Nye-ve

This lively performance by Barrtjap’s son, Kenny Burrenjuck, follows the precedent set by Barrtjap. The performance begins with a ritual call (malh) followed by exhortations in both Batjamalh and English for the audience to clap along. With the exception of the exclamation ‘yagarra!’ in place of the vocable ‘yene’ to start text phrase 4, the text and melody are close to identical to Barrtjap’s version, as is the sequence of clapstick beating patterns (fast doubled beating (rhythmic mode 5b) in vocal section 1, and fast uneven beating (rhythmic mode 5c) for the later vocal sections). Note that this is not the version transcribed in Marett, 2005, pp 178-9, which Marett recorded on another occasion in the same year (Mar97-07-s09).
