Recording an elder? A few gentle tips

  • •Ask them to say who this oriki praises and where it comes from.
  • •Record in a quiet room, holding the phone about a hand-span away.
  • •Let them recite it fully once, then again slowly if they are willing.
  • •Ask what the difficult names, praises, or proverbs mean afterwards.
