This collection contains thirteen traditional Iskonawa songs recorded in 2013, with time-aligned transcription and Spanish translation in ELAN (1,270 annotations). The songs address both elegiac and everyday themes, including a deceased son, a deceased father, a widowed monkey, a dirty woman, a drunkard, a toad, bihao, drink, and aku. The collection also includes a conversation in which the singers discuss and explain the songs, providing valuable contextual information for understanding the genre. Most of the repertoire is performed by a single singer (S01), while several songs are collective performances by three singers (S01, S02, and S03). Recordings were made by Roberto Zariquiey Biondi in the Native Communities of Chachibai and Callería and in San José de Yarinacocha, Ucayali, Peru. Transcription, translation, and ELAN processing were also carried out by Roberto Zariquiey Biondi. The research team included Roberto Zariquiey, José Antonio Mazzotti, and Carolina Rodríguez.

ACCESS IS GRANTED ON REQUEST. Requesters must identify themselves and state their institutional affiliation. The donor reviews and approves or declines each request individually.
This dataset is released under the Licencia Chana 2.0, not under a Creative Commons licence. Download is direct and unrestricted, but use is subject to the following terms.
PERMITTED WITHOUT FURTHER AUTHORISATION
REQUIRES PRIOR WRITTEN AUTHORISATION FROM THE DONOR

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.
Forbidden Usage
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.
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 of the Iskonawa song repertoire, including a conversation in which the singers explain their own songs. Intended for ethnomusicological research, for research on the interaction of melody and linguistic structure, and to allow a future generation to learn the repertoire rather than only listen to it.

4. Descripción general
Trece cantos iskonawa registrados en 2013, con transcripción y traducción sincronizadas en ELAN (1 270 anotaciones). Los temas son marcadamente elegíacos y cotidianos a la vez: el hijo muerto, el padre muerto, el mono viudo, la mujer sucia, el borracho, el sapo, el bihao, la bebida, el aku. Se incluye además una conversación en la que las cantoras comentan y explican las propias canciones, pieza muy valiosa para entender el género.
La mayor parte del repertorio está en voz de una sola cantora (S01); varios cantos son
colectivos, con tres cantoras juntas (S01, S02, S03).
