Nine traditional Kakataibo songs (ISO 639-3 `cbr`, Panoan family) recorded in the community of Yamino, Ucayali, Peru, between 2010 and 2012. They represent four distinct musical genres: no bana 'iti, a male song about war with other peoples and about journeys; bana tupui, a deeply nostalgic female song about remembering people and travels; ño xakuati, tied to peccary hunting and predominantly male; and mankëti, a female song about the ancestors. Each song was recorded on a ZOOM-H4 in uncompressed stereo WAV at 44.1 kHz / 16 bit, and comes with transcription and translation time-aligned in ELAN — 1,675 annotations in total. Transcription and translation by Roberto Zariquiey Biondi and Wilton Odicio. Archive: https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12534/Y82IXS

RIGHT OF WITHDRAWAL Speakers retain the right to withdraw their recordings from this collection at any time. This is the principal reason a Creative Commons licence was not used: CC licences are irrevocable and cannot accommodate this commitment.
ACCESS IS GRANTED ON REQUEST. Requesters must identify themselves and state their institutional affiliation. The donor reviews and approves or declines each request individually.
Forbidden Usage
Ethical Review
All recordings in this collection were made with the informed consent of the speakers, obtained in the field at the time of recording. Signed consent forms are held by the donor at the Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú and are available to the MDC team on request. Speakers are identified by code (S01, S02...) rather than by name, in file names, in the annotation tiers of the ELAN files, and in all accompanying documentation. Contributors are acknowledged collectively in each collection's documentation, without linking any name to any specific recording or code. A small number of individuals appear under their own names because they asked to be credited as authors of the material; this is stated explicitly in the documentation of the collections concerned. Material judged sensitive was withheld from deposit entirely rather than published under restriction. Collections involving funerary practice, medicinal knowledge, ritual knowledge, or extended life histories of identifiable individuals are published under restricted access with individual review of each request. One point remains open and is declared here rather than glossed over: the consent forms signed before approximately 2020 do not mention the use of recordings for training artificial intelligence models. They cannot reasonably be read as covering it. The communities have not yet been consulted on this specific question. Until that consultation takes place, production model training is not authorised, and the licence reflects this.
Intended Use
Documentation and preservation of four Kakataibo song genres with very few living practitioners. Intended for research on prosody and on the relationship between musical and linguistic structure, for intergenerational transmission within the community, and for teaching.

Note on machine learning: this is not a blanket prohibition on ML research. Evaluating and benchmarking existing models on this data is permitted, and so is non-production academic experimentation, provided the model is not deployed, the weights are not released, and the results cite the collection. What requires authorisation is production training and weight release. The reason is that the consent forms signed before approximately 2020 do not mention AI training and cannot reasonably be read as covering it; the communities have not yet been consulted on this point.
