Title: Stories told by Guro Demisse

Description: In this session, Guro Demisse, a very talented story teller, here tells (performs) five animals stories. The recordings were made in his home in Shawca (kebele of K'aysha-Ganshir) in the presence of his family members (wife and children), the researcher (Yvonne Treis), the research assistant (Tiyitu Taddese) and a chicken. The first story (LS100571.wav) is about a cow, the second story (LS100572.wav) about a goat, the third story (LS100573.wav) about a donkey and a dog (cf. session WON2008-10-01 in which Wondu Defersha tells the same story in LS100050.wav), the fourth story (LS100574.wav) is about a monkey and a crocodile (cf. session WON2008-01-04 in which Wondu Defersha tells the same story in LS100071.wav). Finally, the final story (LS100575.wav) about an hyena and his seven children. The photo linked to this session shows Guro at a later date during a cooperative work event when a roof is transported; he is the person in the middle holding the flower.

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.
