Kamagisa etsutühügü 'Kamagisa sang for the first time'

Kalapalo is a dialectal variaton of the Upper Xingu Carib Language. The narra-
tive presented in this chapter is around 12 minutes long and was recorded in 2010,
with seventy-year-old Ageu Kalapalo. He tells us how a man named Kamagisa
married a Snake Woman and learned from his father-in-law a suite of songs of
the Xinguan mortuary ritual (egitsü, broadly known as “Quarup”). When Kamagisa decided to move permanently to his wife’s village, he performed a ritual for
himself and taught the songs to another human singer. The events take place in
Hagagikugu, an important historical site for the Kalapalo and Nahukuá peoples.
Ageu also explains how these same events are reflected in verses sung in Kamayurá, a Tupi-Guarani language (Tupian), an example of the inter-relatedness
of history, narratives and music in the Xinguan multiethnic and multilingual
network.
